Schafft and I went past a dealer somewhere south of Munich, and I know there’s a UK importer.

Edit- The UK importer appears to have closed.

To be able to keep selling them in Germany they tend to switch the name around to pretend it is some low volume car that is exempt from meeting all safety and environmental standards. I think the current name is Taiga.

They did manage to sell a few here in Chile just before airbag laws came in 2016, although they are planning to bring them back as commercial vehicles so that way they can sell them without any safety equipment. And this time alongside the “modern” lineup to compete with the popular Chinese brands.

Nice, I like that you went for the Dio reference rather than “The Eye of the Taiga”

You can still import them to the UK in LHD, they won’t set up the tooling for right hand drive again unless there is huge demand.

That’s actually kinda sweet. I’d consider buying a 4x4 2-door hatch with manual everything for under $9k!

Sometimes, just sometimes, Kinja double posting pictures can be oh so right. While scrolling down to see the rest of your comment, I got to see those two perfect examples of the creators craftsmanship twice.

What’s even MORE awesome is that UAZ still sells the original UAZ ‘jeep’ AND the UAZ van! :D

Check out MegaRetr’s channel on Youtube....he’s like the SaabKyle04 of Eastern Europe/Russia. He does reviews in Russian and English for a lot of awesome Soviet and Eastern Bloc metal...here’s one for the 2015 UAZ van! :D

I know it’s common for car people to say they’d buy a car and then when it comes, they never actually do, but no joke I would buy one of these ASAP if they came to the States.

With the first one, I feel like I’m watching an ASMR video on 2x speed.

MegaRetr’s videos are pretty cool....I wouldn’t mind a Niva. :P

I’ve always loved the simple looks of teh UAZ van tho...

I know the UAZ Hunter comes with fancy features too! Never mind, thought they had some...guess not! :P

Those are local Ladies too.

I remember being there, I just forget where that was...

Yeah, double posting happened to me in another post as well. It usually only showed up twice in the draft and finished post was fine, but this time there was no way for me to fix it. And it wasn’t even such a well rounded picture.
