Palazzo 438 Report post Posted March 31, 2008 Fiat 131 like this. fiat They sold the design to the Ruskies. Both made from Russian tin so both rust at aprox same rate Lada was based on the 124 Fiat, a '60s design. Apart from appalling aerodynamics, the 131 wasn't too bad. My mate had a 131R in Wellington, at 110km/h on the motorway, the aerodynamics were so bad, a wind gust would knock it back to 90. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
