This is a great picture of an old Soviet Lada versus a new Mercedes. The Lada won.

"Being one of the most indestructible yet cheap cars also came with huge jokes among customers. Here are some:
A man goes into a car accessory shop and says to the assistant, ‘Can I have a hub cap for my Lada?’
The assistant thinks to himself for a moment and then replies, ‘OK, it seems like a fair swap.’
What do you call a Lada driver who says he has a speeding ticket?
A liar.
What do you call a Lada at the top of a hill?
A miracle."
Wikipedia says that: "20 million Ladas were sold between 1966 and 2012. It was based on the 1966 Fiat 124 sedan and the keys to its success were: competitive price, reliability, simple DIY-friendly mechanics and unpretentious functionality."
