You think you know what the Soviets wanted better than Soviets themselves? Bullshit. The Soviets wanted a car that used the most advanced technologies available. They already had plenty of simple-ass decade old jalopy designs.
Any source? Because from what I remember reading about licensed Fiats, they were so common because Fiat had low licensing requirements, and buyers simply took what Fiat had in their size class.
It's a well-known fact you can find in literature about USSR auto industry or Lada in particular. By late 60s, all cars manufactured in Soviet Union were very low quality and used outdated technologies. The government decided that they need a totally new car that could meet Western standards. Developing a car from scratch would have been too costly and time consuming, so they decided to license a Western car. The 124 won the Car of The Year prize back then, and it came from a country with strong and influential trade unions (who were pro-USSR), so they chose it, complete with different SOHC engine, reinforced front suspension, new rear suspension design, more durable brakes and other changes.
So maybe I'll take the Rosa,,with its OHC engines and FWD. Maybe the Soviets had different reasoning than the Poles - the 126 and 125 were chosen because Fiat had a very low down payment and allowed payment in cars. --- Post updated --- '81 Bolger lineup: Laumot - entry-level luxury. 1980 Cadillac Seville front end and interior, 1982 Lincoln Continental rear.

This isn't a car, but a piece of a car. Is it possible to add the small detail of a fuel filler cap to the game?
Gavril Bussard (1970-1971) It is a... early 70s AUDM American full-size sedan/wagon/utility/van. Based off the XW Falcon, but with some design inspired by the Kingswood. Configurations: ???
Maybe call it the Bussard, and mix the Falcon (body shape), and give it Holden Kingswood front and rear fascias? Anyway, planning to make a '69 Gavril lineup.
Lamborghini was a Tractor make in the 40's, Lamborghini began after war with the Tractors. In fact, Lamborghini only made Tractors until the 60's, then it's when it became Automobili Lamborghini. And btw, Lamborghini still makes race cars.
Lamborghini never made cars before the war. They started making tractors from spare parts after the war and moved on to cars sometime in the mid 60's.
Well maybe Gizzetto mostly built only race cars before the war, then moved on to street-legal vehicles, but they still made race cars as well.
