Some things should be left up to trained professionals, such as stunt driving and attempting to drift a the crappy Lada Samara, which is of course a lame front wheel drive hatchback. The wannabe drift session goes terribly wrong after the half-witted wheel-man ends up crashing head-on into a ...

We spotted this unusual sight on the streets of Russia, as a tough little Lada somehow becomes a new hood ornament on the front of a moving transport truck. Although details surrounding the strange incident are scarce, we can safely assume the road raging truck driver was trying to teach a ...

Although we haven't heard much official news about the return of the Datsun brand since Carlos Ghosn made the announcement back in March, we now have a little more information about Nissan's new budget brand. Automotive News Europe is reporting that the new breed of Datsun products will go on ...

Some of the most ridiculous events to ever occur behind the wheel of a car, originate from Russia. Thanks to the addition of dashcam's to so many vehicles, we've been able to get a glimpse of some of the craziness from way over there. The outrageous car accident we see here is yet another new ...

The situation on the roads in Russia is a dire one. The video captured by dash cams is often hilarious, sometimes frightening and occasionally truly horrific. The road rage incident we have uncovered here seems to be all of the above when a dispute erupts in gunfire as a shooter targets a Lada ...

Lada is the latest, having hired Steve Mattin to be its design head. Mattin is coming off tenures ...

Renault-Nissan aims to increase its stake in Avtovaz, giving the alliance majority control over Russia's largest automaker. The deal will likely see Renault and Nissan vehicles manufactured beside Lada models in the near future. Avtovaz recently finished a new production facility in Togliatti ...

"It's time to say goodbye," said AvtoVAZ spokesman Igor Burenkov to Russia's RIA Novosti about the end of Lada 2107 production, which happened this week. The Lada 2107, also called the Lada Riva, has been plying Russian roads since before Ronald Reagan started redesigning walls. It's one of the ...

We imagine that many a Russian Lada has been compared to a ticking time bomb – which is not to say that there aren't any good Ladas out in the wild, of course – but the example you'll see in the video pasted below takes the cake. It is, quite literally, an Improvised Explosive ...
