However the new breed of European cars seem to be just as ugly as the American counterparts.
Look at the new Volkswagen or the new Mini-Cooper. UGH!!
The new Beetle is Mexican, not European.

If you want to see cute cars, look at the old Fiat models, e.g. 500 or 126. The production of the latter siezed only recently. (Below!)

I wish we had more choice when it comes to vehicles in the USA. I'd like to be able to see Ladas,

You are kidding, right? I don't think Ladas are exported anymore...
That's what the electricans, plumbers and the like drive here... (Mostly with the top rather than the open tray, though)

The Balkan wars have taken their toll on these cars I think. Were Yugos ever exported to western Europe, btw? They were sold in the US and one of the late models was named "Florida"... (The original Yugo was a Fiat 128 made in Serbia, just like the Vaz/Lada was a Fiat 124 made in Russia)
Anyone have an opinion on the Proton from Malaysia? It seems to be affordable (and some people say it's good)....
If there's a Proton, why isn't there an Electron? It would be the obvious choice for any self-respecting electrician
