ZAZ

ZAZ (Zaporozhsky Avtomobilny Zavod) is an automobile manufacturer based in the Ukraine. The factory was set up in 1960 to create the Russian equivalent of the Volkswagen -- a car for the ordinary people.

The car was powered by an air-cooled V4 engine. The early model body was similar to the Fiat 600. A later restyling made the car look more like a NSU[?] Prinz.

Since the 1990s ZAZ is owned by Daewoo[?].

Sometimes sold as Zaporozhets[?] or Yalta.
