Borsuq, from here on Oppo recently told me about a Youtube Channel I’ve never heard of by a Russian who goes by the tag MegaRetr - think of him like the SaabKyle04 of Russia. He reviews a lot of interesting cars to those of us in Europe and the Americas, as many of them are Russian or Chinese that we don’t get here....some are classic, awesome Russian rides, or newer Chinese and Russian rides that are....of questionable quality.

Take this one for example - the 2013 TagAZ Aquila. Just watch the video and bask in it.....greatness...? This ‘sports car’ features such luxurious parts as a Chevy Lacetti instrument cluster, Mitsubishi 1.6L 4-cyl with 106 raging horsepower, and other astonishing features! :P

Speaking of quality, check out the gap between the window/mirror switches and the door trim at 12mins, 5secs.....quality craftsmanship! ;)

I actually kind of like the rear end.

It was meant to be an affordable sports coupe but it ended up just lasting a year in the market, it’s not a bad looking thing from the press shots:

If you like MegaRetr and Saabkyle04, you could check the Japanese version too:

I’m subscribed to all 3 and it’s really interesting to see the different cars of the world.

It reminds me of the cars in Sleeping Dogs.

i don’t know what to make of the shape of the car. it looks like it was dragged right out of a video game.

Was the hood popped open or are those just the gaps?

You can see in the video where he pops the hood, so it’s possible it was popped for some of the video.
