Talk:AvtoVAZ

message: Some of the information is not up-to-date.  E.g., there are new models like the 20111 etc., and there is a new
off-road car (in the making?); these new cars are much more "modern" in their appeal.  I do not know much about
Ladas (except owning one), but maybe someone knowledgable should go over this.  Ar 16:26, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

text: Somebody made an article about the numbering system.  There should be a reference to it, probably under "see also"-section.  I'll check it up ... tobixen 15:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Updates needed 

message: Makes sense - so long as it is done sensitively with no loss of content or images. Also, such that anyone keying "Lada" into the search function is directed to the right place. Bob BScar23625 16:47, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just move the whole section, it can later be edited to match this article and maybe expanded into "Foreign markets" or something similar. --DmitryKo 18:06, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I would rather keep them separate and link within the Lada article to AvtoVAZ. The name Lada was not used for the domestic market AFAIK. If no one object, I will remove the merge tag in one week time. E  Asterion u talking to me? 23:06, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge [[Lada]] article 

message: I removed the section
The original Lada is often thought of as a 'rugged' car, lacking in most modern luxuries expected in modern cars. While sanctions banned their export to the United States, Ladas were available in several Western countries during the 1980s, including Canada and Britain, where, due to a perception of poor quality and their low price, they became the subject of jokes such as these (which were also frequently used for Yugo, Skoda and Trabant):
:Q: How do you double the resale value of a Lada?
:A: Fill it up with petrol.
:Q: Why do Ladas come with rear window defrosters as standard?
:A: So your hands stay warm while you're pushing it.
:Q: What do you call a convertible Lada?
:A: A skip.
:Q: What do you call a Lada with twin exhausts?
:A: A wheelbarrow.
:Q: Have you heard about the new Lada 16-valve?
:A: Yes. Eight in the engine and eight in the radio.
In 1982 Lada became the sponsors of the Classic snooker tournament and offered any player who made a 147 break a Lada; Steve Davis (who achieved it) later commented that the players had joked that the prize for nearly doing so but missing the final black was two Ladas.
It's unsourced and Wikipedia is not a collection of jokes. No other car marque has a jokes section (altough I did try do add one to Audi and BMW). // Liftarn
I personally believe the joke section does have a place in Wikipedia, as long as it's kept short.  It is a fact that such jokes have been circulating about Ladas, particularly about Ladas imported to the Western Europe, and I think there have been more jokes about Ladas than any other brand. Also, those jokes are dieing as there are very few old-style Ladas left in the Western Europe. tobixen 03:15, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  The object of jokes 

message: Anyone interested in expanding this article, the book "Cars for Comrades" by Lewis Siegelbaum has a detailed discussion of the history of AvtoVAZ - in English. Голубое сало/Blue Salo (talk) 22:44, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  A good source for exanding the article 

message: I decided to remove the numerous "citation needed" tags.  The article is already tagged as needing sources identified, and the numerous tags throughout the entire article tended to be distracting.  With the whole article already tagged, it seems superfluous to additionally flag each individual sourceless statement. --Ericdn (talk) 18:03, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Citation needed" tags 

message: Probably this year there will be a merger between OPEL, AUTOVAZ and GAZ as the auto manufacturing in the Russian Federation is still very low compared to other markets: Russia just manufactures 1.6 million cars while Brazil manufactres 3 million and South Korea 4 million. So there is a lot of room for increasing manufacturing inside Russia.--83.53.111.4 (talk) 00:52, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger of Autovaz, Opel and GAZ 

message: While АвтоВАЗ is the correct spelling, how is this best written in the Roman alphabet? The particle Авто is pronounced "auto", just as in other mainland (i.e. except English) languages that use the Roman alphabet; the letter в is equivalent to v or u; so why is a "v" used in "AvtoVAZ"?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rfsmit (talk • contribs) 19:15, 15 July 2010 (UTC)
