There is still a Lada 124 saloon in my neighborhood, and an estate near my grandma's house.

The Yugo Sana appeared at the same time as the FIAT Tipo

Sana:


Although the Sana was an entirely new car made by Yugo (and designed by of course that italian guy who designs every car - Giugiaro - it used some FIAT engines, and people saw it as the same thing underneath.
It actually resembles more the Citroën ZX than the Tipo.
