I think it would be cool to add column: Did you know... where could be interesting facts about car. For instance this: Did you know that Yugo was blown off the Mackinac Bridge in 1988?
For Ford Crown Victoria: Did you know that it was the last car that used Panther platform?
For Mitsubishi Pajero: Did you know that Pajero name must be changed in spanish talking countries, because it had inappropriate meaning?
And I could go on and on and on.
I think it could be entertaining and interesting. Also, newest ones could be shown in same manner that completed cars are, so it would proably boost web visit numbers (due to interesting facts changing daily, or I hope so), and that could mean this site could make more money on advertising and that mean it was more profitable for Rinspeed, and that would mean...

Urgh, a city girlish Niva with plastic bumpers. At least there is still classical one for sale.

Rys is translated as Lynx.

This was actually produced? Wow, I never heard about it and it looks interesting indeed.

Reddish base color and white bodykit looks kinda cheap, it will always remind me this:

There should be sooner or later wagon variant. Shame they dont make coupe anymore, but it is understandable.

in CZ known as Laguna Grandtour

That may be the problem. In czech language, V and W have exactly same pronounciation.
But as I thought about it more, I think I somehow get it now (and thanks to IGCD member krq9), because english W sounds similar to mine U, so it would sound more oddly.

If am I not mistaken, cyrilic alphabet doesnt have W at all. I must say though, Moscow would look oddly with normal V, but that is only habit. In fact, I dont see reason why they did W either.

For sure it looks odd when we are using W in city name and V in car name. It should be either all W, or all V.

This car was used by my mom parents. Whenewer you wanted to go, it didnt start.

Who came up with bright idea to translate it as Moskvich? It is derived from Moscow, so Moskwich would be more suitable.
(If it is not clear - it is not mistake done by anyone here, but someone who translated it in cold war)

Oh, thanks for enlighting this for me. I get it now

I can be wrong, but wasnt 126s that were made in Poland actually Polski Fiat 126p?

Is it just me or does it look like Triumph TR7?

I have its commercial papers stashed somewhere. There are all trims (worst didnt have radio ) and all colors. Diesel wasnt available in CZ and I read somewhere that it came in 2004, though I can be wrong.

Also it would be interesting to add EuroNCAP results to cars somewhere in future - you would be capable of comparing when you would like to buy used/new cars. For american cars there would be their tests etc etc...

You dont have Opel anymore?

Oh. So it was like Merkur, but more short-lived. I bet they will be collectors item someday.

Looks like the french cars that you could drive without licence.

Never heard about it. Was it something like Merkur brand, only Japan?

I think that this year is last model year for Roomster. Most likely there will be no sucessor.

VW group cars are not nice to tune, they all look odd somewhat.
I also listed this car as a hatchback rather than concept, but I already corrected it.

Wow. this car is still made after 52 years. Fun fact is, that it was meant to save Studebaker, but Studebaker later went bust and this was produced as a separate brand.

Ashaming example of bad taste and kitchy tuning made on post eastern bloc country car.

oh, okay then

Felicia Fun was also available as Felicia Midi Fun. It had big plastic cover above truck bed, often seen on ordinary Felicia Pickups and Vanplus. There were 3 colors available, yellow, orange and green, but only for bumpers, rollbar etc.

Shouldnt this be a prototype, since 1 car was built?
