Remembering Japanese cars from the past

WTF: JDM or USSRDM?

Somehow I think this Russian VAZ-21059 (aka Lada 2105) got a small identity problem:
JDM or USSRDM VAZ-21059
JDM or USSRDM VAZ-21059

Or could it be that it is actually a 21059 replica powered by a Mazda 12A or 13B?

    Yeap, it’s definitely VAZ 2105 with usual common VAZ 1500 engine inside. He just want to be JDM :)

    This is real 21059 with rotary engine. “The VAZ-21059 Car (first made in 1980) was powered by the two rotor VAZ-411M engine, and also the two rotor VAZ-4132 engine.
    Transmission was a 4 speed manual and the car had an optional extra fuel tank.”

    Thanks Tony! Glad it isn’t a replica. But why the Banzai flag on the hood?
    BTW: Radicallylowcars is a great site! I did read it with great interest. :)

    Yes? That’s VAZ-2105, Moscow car(registration number)
    I think the owner wanted a Japanese car, but money sufficed only on VAZ, And VAZ at Us this cheap bucket. Sorry if I make mistakes in translation.
