message: Twisp. You have added the image "Lada 2101". Is this a spoof?. Bob
ps I guess this may be in the vintage car section. Sorry to have doubted you. It looks like an early Lada from circa 1972. Bob BScar23625 17:36, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

message: I don't believe this entry and can find no evidence for the Lada Cosetor. The origianl contributor seems to have spread several false entries around. Can anyone confirm the existence of this model? Malcolma (talk) 11:07, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I found only one ghit from a russian source diff mentioning the Lada Cosetor  but the link doesn't work. The Google description says: Лада Материал из Википедии - свободной энциклопедии года свыше 13.5 million Ladas были badged как "Ривас", (вос-стиле, .... Лада Cosetor была выпущена в Северной Корее, Есть только несколько Cosetor" If this is not a Wikipedia mirror, like the other ghits appear to be, then the Cosetor might have existed but the evidence is very weak. It's a difficult call. Dr.K. (talk) 15:42, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: But from the little Cyrillic that I know I just noticed in the above that "Википедии" means Wikipedia. So this is a mirror after all. I would say get rid of it. It seems bogus and with no WP:RS citations to back it up it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. Dr.K. (talk) 15:46, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Lada is back to Brazil

message: It might be worth mentioning the steering of the Lada Rivas. It did not use rack & pinion, and there was a large amount of backlash. This often frightened people the first time they drove it. IIRC it used a worm & screw mechanism, but I'm not sure what that is. On the plus side the steering was not affected by hitting a kerb, so no veering out of control like rack & pinion steering does in such a situation.

thread_title:  Lada Fizmat 

message: Come on, people. The Lada jokes, the terrible quality. There's no smoke without fire. The article is actually incomplete without some kind of criticism section. The fact that there isn't one leads one to conclude that the article was either written by a satisfied Lada customer (it is possible, one imagines) or (even worse) somebody from the Lada organisation. 86.143.84.199 (talk) 19:51, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Santamoly wrote "obviously somebody liked Ladas - over 20 million of them were sold".  As others have mentioned, that was almost entirely due to the fact that there was a captive market for them, as no foreign-made autos were allowed to be imported into the Soviet Union, and Lada was the main manufacturer of small passenger vehicles in the USSR.  And while 20 million might sound like a lot, that's spread over the course of 42 years -- less than a half-million cars per year.  Toyota and Volkswagen each sell 10 million cars per year, and they have to compete with dozens of rivals.  So the 20 million number in no way correlates to Ladas being "liked", much less being decent cars.  The article needs a "criticism" or "reputation" section to reflect these facts. Bricology (talk) 18:55, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, come now, let's not get too carried away!  The basic Lada Riva was made in several countries and sold all over the world for decades, except for the USA where it ran into a typical American import ban (along with bans on Chinese & Indian cars, and small pickup trucks from anywhere in the world). Lada Rivas are still made in Egypt for export throughout Africa. Lada Rivas were always popular as taxis since they were cheap and easy to repair. Americans can see vintage Lada ex-taxis in Jamaica, Canada, and Cuba.  Lada regularly competes in the World Touring Car Championship races around the world, and new Ladas are sold everywhere in Europe. Lada facts are easily found in WP - you don't have to make up stuff.

message: What models of the Lada have airbags and when were they introduced? Which models have driver-only airbags, and both driver/passenger airbags? -- DMahalko (talk) 02:22, 18 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: All current models of Lada have airbags, for example, the Lada XRAY, and all appear to have Euro-spec airbags for at least the last 20 years, for example the Lada Kalina. For the non-believers, both are listed in WP, plus all the other Lada models. Santamoly (talk) 02:58, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Airbags / SRS? 

message: Lada cars and some 4x4 were sold in NZ in the 1970s for a brief period of about 3 years. A NZ dairy company sold millions of dollars of their products to Russia and the Russians refused to pay. Instead they said they would provide Lada cars as payment . The cars were imported by the dairy company and sold throughout NZ. It did not take long before customers realized that Ladas are an extremely poorly made and finished car.They broke down, they leaked, bits fell off.They became a by word for low quality. Some farmers found the 4 x 4 to be a better deal as it was so cheap and they were not worried about minor leaks, poor paint or finishing. They are generally considered to be the worst car by a long way, ever imported into NZ.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 115.188.198.190 (talk) 07:36, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
