The Romanian Dacia Logan:

Why am I getting an uber* strong Volkswagon vibe from this. *Notice the use of the German word uber.


Its a pun people you are supposed to laugh.

I thought the same, it looks like the last generation Jetta with a taller greenhouse..

Back inthe 70s the Dacia was a decent looking car compared to other cars in europe. But now the Trabant is dead and this looks like ASS!

Wow that's ugly.

i think that from now on im gonna just never leave c&g because if i dont post immediatly some says exactly what i was gonna say, i saw that picture and thought "hmmm a volkswagon"?

Well, it has a lot of cues from the old Jetta, like the fender flares, greenhouse, side profile, and overall proportioning. I think it's kinda cool, I'd look at it for around 9k, to me it's cooler looking than the Aveo. The Aveo just has to get edgier and it would be a lot cooler, less breezy....

Well. If it has to be cheap...



The rims touched the ground so the car tipped over just like the first A-class.
It's Renault which makes the Dacia Logan, so what has Germany to do with it?

*Notice the use of the German word uber.

Is "Uber" a German word? Was das Volk über Sprache weiss!

Looks like a piss-poor kit car. I think Romania, former Czechoslovakia, Poland, et al have been making Soviet tanks too long...

The more I look at this car the more I like it. Something appealing about it. I can't believe I'm complimenting a Dacia. Not a stellar history.

Don't get us CzechoSloakians involved.... me or GT1750 might get offended.

FYI: here's what a Slovakian kit car looks like:





Beyond the mid engine setup and killer loks this thing offers ample trunk space. :)

From the articles I've read, my understanding is the Logan is intended to be a very inexpensive-to-build, inexpensive-to-buy car for developing markets (Eastern Europe, India, African countries, etc)..

Correct. But that should still not be an excuse for making it so unsafe that it only receives 3 stars at Euroncap and tips over in the infamous moose test.

You get waht you pay for. Given the choice betwen a semi-safe car adn NO car most people in the market for a Dacia will go with a cheap new car versus walking.

Yipes! De Concept ist Good!

68, that kit car is fantastic!....do you have more info on that...website?

It is very cheap to build and sell, hence the very cheap to stamp panels (no deep draw, multi-strike panels here folks). Basic competition is the previous generation Astra sedan, as the Polish built Astra Classic and, the Russian Chevrolet Viva and other older C-segment sedans. GM do Brasil is working on their own ultra-cheap world car.

Harley:

Here you go buddy. I agree. Stunning.

It is [based] on a production car. Guess which one? No fair looking off the website either.

Is it a current production car?...I can't even guess. Something GM? The design on this, for a kit car is very refined. Very nicely done.

Gotta love our Slavic Women, my Slovakian friend :)

I think you should do some research of what they produce before making prejuduce comments like that

This 'kit car' outshines many production sports cars....absolutely stunning. Extremely impressed. I want one.

Yup.... more often then not, Eastern Europen women are stunning. B)

The production car it's based on is a bit of a dissapointment for myself. but I can understand why they chose it as a base.

So what is the car it's based on?....

It's like a squashed A4 Jetta with a Forenza-inspired front end.
