 | | This Russian automobile manufacturer, originally set up in collaboration with Fiat, produces nearly one million cars a year, including the Samara, a small hatchback, and the Niva, a 4x4 vehicle. |
 | | Changes to emissions- and safety-legislation meant that AutoVAZ withdrew from most Western markets by the late 1990s; often, there were also problems with spare parts. |
 | | Though the original Lada, and as of the early part of the new millennium the Samara, have now been withdrawn from Europe, the 110 and the Niva are still sold on the European market, as are the more modern models. |
