Lada Vesta

[Hubris]

Does anyone know when/if these cars will be coming to our shores, or any other details about them?

Regards

Just had to google that car. Given the following:

1) it's a concept car
2) it's likely to be poorly suited to EU buyer's expectations and safety/ emission legislation
3) Lada has no UK dealer network and a poor historic image
4) there's a lot of good cars already in that sector
5) Russia and the UK aren't exactly friends right now

... I doubt we'll ever see the car for sale here. By all means go down the personal import route if you must have one though.

I never mentioned I wanted one.

Just curious about them.

I like it. British designer, and AvtoVaz Lada is part of the Renault-Nissan Alliance. With Dacia and Skoda sales rocketing , MG3 and 6 doing OK, it could make a UK debut.

A WTCC performance like last year, and 2 British drivers, it could become a cult brand.

I had to Google it too. It looks Korean, which I think is compliment in this case.

I liked Steve Martin in parenthood.

There is a Lada dealer in the UK. Only sells Niva's at the moment.
