Guess these cars (tough one!)
 

OK, now it's my turn to make a difficult quiz for you, guys. Guess the makes (and if you can, models) of these cars. Sorry for the quality, they've been scanned from a mag.

1-Saturn
2-Mercedes
3-?
4-?

it has a sort of mercedes star in the side window, but the shape of the nose makes me think its a subaru...not in any way sure tho.
About the other cars, im clueless

[EDIT] just a wild guess on #1, an old Seat? cos they were ugly boxy things too :lol: but then again most cars were ugly boxy things in the 80's

1. Kinda looks like a Renault hatchback

2. I think i've seen it before in another Trivia :arrow: EDIT UAZ 3160
Think it's this one http://www.motorworld.net/forum/showthread.php?t=19392

3. Ugly

4. Pontiac fierro

:lol:
So far only sndr has given the correct answer: it is UAZ 3160.
dani_d_mas was also pretty close on #4, so I'll count his answer: it's a Laura Mk III, based on Pontiac Fiero. I reminded about it when we talked on another tread about huge Russian Hummer-alike a month ago. This one is from the same manufacturer, but can be ordered with any other chassis/engine of a choice. Oops, sorry, sndr, you get 2 points, not 1 :)
So we are left with #1 and #3.... #3 is really tough one, let me know when you give up :wink:

2. Some sort of Tata? It looks like the Mercedes star comes from a pillar in the background that is visible through the window of the car.

It would help if you would look at the earlier posts....

LOL, n.1 looks like a grown Seat Marbella sedan...

3 seems to be some PGO-like Speedster replica...only one that's VERY messed up :| ITS UGLY :(

It would help if you would look at the time both posts were made... :P

3.) Is that a buik?

Alright, I'll give you some clues: both cars come from Eastern Europe. #1 is production car, while #3 is a concept.

First is russian/ukraine(?) Zaz imo, dumb copy of 15 years old Lada Samara :roll: What kind of f*kin idiot would copy so old car to made another dumb car :| Those people are out out of theyre own fantasy :|
Third I dont know but also a dumb model, not far away from Zaz :roll:

I can't answer about any of the cars, but I'm just suggesting that you try the function called "Descreen" when you scan from a magazine to not get the pixels all visible and stuff...

So here this little contest have come to an end and these are the answers:
1. Zaz 1103. Arman got it half correct: it is a Zaz, but it's not a Lada Samara copy. Zaz was introduced only 2 years after the 3-door Samara, in 1986. Although the design is similar, the Zaz is a bit smaller and higher. Originally it was introduced as a 3-door hatch, followed by a 5-door hatch, estate and a pick-up in the end of 90s. No idea if it's still in production.
2. UAZ 3160. A successor to the old rugged Uaz jeep, the star of Rembo 3 and several James Bond movies.
3. Laura MkIII. Made in St.Petersburg by a small company that specialises in one-off cars and jeeps.
4. Cardi Body. Yep, that's its name, "Body"... Made as a concept-car by Moscow tuning company Cardi on Lada Samara spares. The company have built another couple of models in several exemplars: also 2-seaters, also on Lada spare parts.

1. ford tempo about 1992. :)
