Never on my street, but as this picture was taken in Maisons-LaFitte there is a slight chance (or risk) he soon will park outside your house, I see you come from Paris !!

Quite often. New Zealand is a haven for JDM grey imports.

Here in The Philippines, any Saab car will do. There are hardly any Saabs here! I see more Ferraris or Lamborghinis!

As for Fiat, these cars are especially made for mediterrainian warm climate, tender chassis and thin sheet metal, they can't resist the salt on the roads at wintertime, corrosion quickly ruined these cars.

So Fiat is a popular brand in Italy, Greece, Turkey and South America.

Also french and italian brands never made succes in North America due to this reason. Citroen especially failed because of the hydraulic suspension which was banned in the US.



Ferrari or Maserati parked outside Gare du Nord. Rare car for my eye.

Actually the popularity of SAAB is drastically decreasing here in Sweden too (where SAAB is manufactured) It used to be the nr 2 brand after Volvo, but now people tend to avoid buying the new SAAB 9-5, which is a quite unusual model even here. Most SAABs I see are the older ones.

The amazon is in good state, great value on the antique car market.

The Cadillac: I think this car is not yet approved for swedish traffic because absence of orange direction indicators. Red indicators are not allowed.

I've seen them twice in my life... I hope I will never see them again... They are by far the most ugly cars I can imagine.

BTW have you seen a new Zastava?

About Zastava 750. Yes, they were available here. My friends had one of those in '70s, a green one (IIRC white or red was the ususal color). They travelled major part of Europe with it. Western Europe, which was then quite extraordinary for polish citizens. The following model of Zastava was even assembled here in Poland as Zastava 1100p in trade with assembly kits of Polski Fiat 125p for Crvena Zastava plant. They dissapeared from roads in '90s, now Zastava is another rare car in Poland. Usually when You see one it's well preserved and driven by some old guy, often te original owner. Here's one spotted in my city:


Here's another rare car in Poland. Those were never common here:





And a Nissan Stanza. While Bluebirds and especially Sunnys were once popular here, I don't think I've seen more than 10 of those in Poland in my entire life:

Sometimes even everal times a month, but usually the same 2 or 3 pieces. I dont like MPVs, I don't like asymetric cars, I don't like small cars... but I must say that Cube is so funny that actually I quite like it

Never seen any chinese car here. Only 19 were newly registered in Poland in 2010. Indian Tata entered Poland about 4 years ago, but recently left the market because of very poor sales. I guess it will be the same with chinese cars for many, many years.
