Cuba Part Deux
honestly I wish there somethhing akin to this sold in North America.
They’re talking about very old used cars. An old Toyota is superior to an old Lada and they are sold in used car lots everywhere.
“last produced in 2012” I dont’ know that doesn’t sound too old to me. Find me a used toyota camy/corella that I can actually afford and I’ll buy it.
go Datsun run forever
Bought my 2006 Toyota Matrix during COVID form $7k (Canadian – approx $5k US). Damn, this thing will run forever.
Yeah, that’s a lot of money

You want it to be about twice as likely that you die if you get in a car crash? (26.3 then vs 13.8 now deaths per 100,000 people in a car crash)
Those are NOT safe cars to drive in.
That’s such a strawman argument. It’s possible to make a car with modern crumple zones etc. without also inflating it in size and price the way every US-market car is.
That’s such a strawman argument.
If you’re looking for a strawman argument, look at your own post. You’re changing what OP said and then saying my response was wrong. Thats the definition of a strawman. OP was talking about legacy Soviet designed cars, NOT modern cars. I responded about legacy Soviet cars for driving today as OP was referring to.

It absolutely is. Americans won’t buy them in sufficient quantities to be profitable for US car companies. We don’t have to guess, we have sales numbers and recent history to show it:
The Ford Fiesta started at $11k in the USA, yet sales kept declining until Ford canceled it along with every other car in its lineup except the Mustang . source
Why would I care about that? If its my time to go its my time to go. I’m more concerned about living and not being able to afford a second car for my family.
Uh. You should care about that. Your family would be left without you. Or one of your family members could die. That’s worse than not having a second car.
Return of the K-car!

“Not like that!” 😱
You want a design from 1966 sold in North America?
