I drove a Lada for five years.  It was fourteen years old when I got it and
was still going just fine when I gave it away last month.  They were built
off the plans of old Fiats.

This is totally untrue. The USSR exported automobiles
to Latin America and elsewhere. Russia and Belarus
export tractors to Australia to this day, where Ladas,
I am told, have a cult following.

Those vehicles break down a lot, but then again they
are easy to repair.
