| | Autosoviet: WARTBURG |
 | | The Wartburg was, in the former DDR, the only car -with the little Trabant- available for the private transport of the Eastern Germany (but there was also a little number of cars imported from other Eastern countries). |
 | | Anyway, the Wartburg 1.3 is the last car with the Wartburg brand: in the 1991, the factory was bought by Opel (the VW, instead, realized a new factory in Mosel, near Zwickau, with ex-Trabant workers). |
 | | The Wartburg, instead, has been forgotten by the people (except for a "wing" of Trabant's owners that likes the "metallic" sound of the 3-cylinders two-stroke engines), and, from the status of "better sister" of the Trabant, it's passed to the status of industrial junk, without the same "appeal" of the cheaper sister. |
