communism fault is management of the factory had no say whether they can upgrade the tooling and production methods in the first place. they'd need permission and resources allocated from the state for that, and naturally, communism never had any resources it could spare. which is why once a factory was set up, it pretty much made the same car for decades until communism collapsed

Explain how Lada Samara, Niva, Skoda Favorit, and Moskvith 2141 appeared then. Even the Lada 110 prototype was made under communism (1990). All these vehicles were modern in their years.

In the 80s, they did make some progress in car design. This is probably due to the renewal of the country's leadership under Gorbachev.

>Explain how Lada Samara, Niva, Skoda Favorit, and Moskvith 2141 appeared then.
all of those appeared few years before collapse with hopes to be sold in the west, more than decade after western economy cars adopted front engine FWD. 2141 is just simca copy. skoda wanted a FWD car in 70s already but politics and money didn't allow it so they were stuck making their 60s design until late 80s with different body.

lada niva is still made today with barely any improvements so i'm not sure why do you bring that up as an example against a factory being made without ever producing anything else when... 50 years later, the factory is still making the same fucking car with minimal improvements.

Because realistically speaking there's not much to improve anymore.
It's almost a case of "perfect from the beginning".
It's a cheap light offroader like the suzuki jimny, but unlike the jimny it still is fairly cheap even new.
It's not the greatest off-road vehicle of all time, it's basic and crude, but again people don't really need much more than that for their daily needs.
>>
>>27665323
>lada niva is still made today with barely any improvements

Niva has received many improvements over the years. Exterior, interior, body, side windows, engine, fuel injection system, suspension: all this was replaced or improved. Also power steering, power windows and air conditioning were added later. The only thing that hasn't changed is transmission. What other improvements do you want? Maybe an entire new car?

you're under impression that communist "brand-new" ICBM is any different compared to "brand-new" lada; worse copy of a western design that's at best at the end of production, if not decade obsolete. and the cope about commies actually focusing on military tech at the expense of everything else doesn't work when you can look at how it performs in ukraine and, unsurprisingly, it's just as shit as the cars

I get your point but the "I grew up in the soviet bloc" argument isn't strong enough because it leaves the door open for them to counter with "well that wasn't REAL communism".

Yes. The jews spearheaded communist uprisings and rode off the backs of actual working class people fighting for a change against the jewish capitalists. And yes real communism was never achieved because like true capitalism, it cannot be achieved. That doesnt mean communist ideals are flawed, but that the jews recognized the ideals as a threat and maliciously baited working class people with them just to pull the rug from underneath. Surprise! The same has happened under so called capitalism.
What usually happens is these >>27667030 >>27668525
victims end up with a chip on their shoulder living under their jewish communism. Jew led capitalist countries magnify this failed jewish communism as muh communism bad dont even talk about it. Look at these atrocities. It's to the point people just parrot what they see or hear.
No one has even read the fuckin book.
No one even realizes there is a struggle between the rich and poor and when they do, it's taboo to talk about it because that makes you a communist.

I prefer Fascism because of the so-called."Cult of Speed" and emphasis on beauty and function of objects under it. I suggest as a third option to capitalism and communist, instead that all Fascist men be granted a well handling and beautiful Pony Car with a high revving small block V8 as part of the planned economy and remove the speed limits. As part of this suggestion something like the 1967-1968 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 be used as the basis but with a more finely designed body closer to an Iso Rivolta.

Soviet planned economy and the ban on the import cars de facto ended in 1989, by 1989 lada riva wasn't very obsolete.

Most of the production time of classic rwd lada was under a market post-Soviet economy, and it was available to everyone. So that picture above doesn't make sense, because it’s unlikely that BMW would have made a better car for $4.5k

Skoda 720 most likely got cancelled because Czechs didn't wanted to fund this project on their own, and it certainly didn't helped that Slovaks wanted the new car to be build in their (by then nonexistent) Bratislava factory. Government in Prague also preferred FWD Skoda 760, and joint venture with Sachsenring, Wartburg, and Dacia. But by 1974 it was already clear that East Germany don't want to bear the burden of complex logistics, and after they finally pulled the plug in 1979, Czechs focused on Skoda 780, which would later become the Favorit.
>>

Also Skoda would have got a modern FWD station wagon already in 1977, rather than more than a decade later with Forman.

Yugo Florida was a completely in house development so much that Fiat initially did not want to provide engines for it so a deal with Hyundai was struck so Fiat changed their mind and it ended up with Fiat engines after all.
It's a bit of a shame it was a total sales flop but at the same time you could buy a Lada Samara for less even in Yugoslavia and it was built noticeably better so it's not a surprise.

In the end they rebodied the Niva into some ugly 2000s design and put a Chevrolet badge on .it they still make that fucking "Chevrolet Niva" but they put a front bumper that looks like it's stolen from a RAV4 and glued on and it says Lada again, utterly disgusting.

How do they get so little power from a V8 MODOR

>Niva has received many improvements over the years.
Ah now it's called Niva Legend? Whatever, as long as it's still made all is good.
Why does the Niva Travel exist? Why did the Chevrolet Niva ever fucking exist?

SOHC and it's just a repurposed GAZ-66 V8 with a compression ratio of like 6:1, it will probably run on paint thinner if need be

>SOHC
That can't be it. The LS is pushrod and that thing has properly good power to displacement ratios.
>repurposed GAZ-66 V8 with a compression ratio of like 6:1
Ah, it's for a fucking truck. But the info I found on jewpedia says it's a damn side bigger than 3.4l and doesn't say SOHC either.

Because mobsters that can't afford G-wagen needs to drive something.

the irony is a tank full of 2stroke oil/petrol mixed for a trabant is pretty much worthless as well unless you also happen to drive one

The Chevy Niva's story is surprisingly long and retarded, but cba to post it again. Wiki articles probably cover it pretty well

>>27686672
Imagine what could have happened if the GM really wanted to improve the second gen Niva and sold it globally.

You are reading about another engine, this 3.4 liter SOHC is called GAZ-3105 and it has nothing to do with GAZ truck engines. They are so rare that it is almost impossible to even find picture or proper info on the Internet. Some sources write about an output of 170 hp, so it probably produces 130 hp on 80 octane with a GAZ-24 carburetor, and 170 hp on 92 octane with EFI. EFI was probably made by Lucas company in UK because they also worked for Moskvitch EFI, but I might be wrong

No one's posted one yet, so I'll post my fave Soviet car, the Chaika ragtop.

Not much would have happened I'm afraid. Even if the Chevy Niva body had passed NCAP you'd still just have a shittier Vitara with an outdated and underpowered driveline. After all, this was long before the Niva recieved all it's updates

I didn't mean that it's literally a GAZ-66 V8, but probably an offshoot/further development of it and the ZMZ-53 V8.
Probably wouldn't make sense do develop a wholly new engine out of scratch, especially in the dire monetary situation everyone was in post-Soviet Russia, when you could just rework what you already have.

Why not just get a Packard Caribbean instead?

Because the soviet elites were too proud to ride on american cars, so they decided to build american car at home. So much hypocrisy....

Imagine you drive a limousine with an interior no worse than a Cadillac and tell the population that cars are a bourgeois excess, and they can travel by public transport
