It is a concept car, but at least they are heading the right way. And no matter how they make them to look on the outside, I would still expect them to be a lot simpler mechanically and easier to repair.

I actually quite like the Riva. You could still buy it new here until end of 2011. Only costed something like €7.000 new with Euro4 4 cylinder.

RWD
79 hp
1.7l fuel injection
4 doors
solid metal

What more do you want!? Driving how it used to be - and still should, if you live in the past

the Niva 4x4 was one of the best 4wd I have ever drove. stunningly capable.

Skodas 15 years ago were a laughing stock to most people ( me included) I bought one 11 years ago and it is still going strong and returning 65mpg on average ( 1.9 TDI) on motorway driving, round town its mid 40s
