looks a bit like it

I think that lada looks alot better than there concepts, concepts all look the same these days; flashing lights and shiny surfaces.

is that roadster a lada i want one

imagine driving one of those around (obviously de-badged )

It obviously wasnt good enough for Lada though, because that was there 2001 concept at Geneva along with the MG ZT etc.

Was the skoda actually Rapid?

yes, going backwards into a hedge, after the soviot iron engine had made the car swap ends after taking a corner a wee bit to fast

IIRC its something like 59bhp/ton. Could have been a very good engine if they didn't stick an iron head on top of an alloy block. It was a fairly good rally car though.

The whizzkid is a nice compact rear engined car, with 47bhp from 970cc, with a top speed of, IIRC 90ish mph. I think it was also shorter than a cinq.

details of it..
