Talk:Automobile model numbering system in USSR and Russia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Akkording to the AvtoVAZ and Lada Kalina articles, the Kalina number starts with '1', but has a 1.6 litre engine, and Lada Samara starts with '2', but has a 1.5 litre engine. tobixen 13:40, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

You're absolutely right. It looks like VAZ denounced the standard it has followed for 30-odd years and started using different numbering system. Kalina apparently is the first model not to follow the old scheme. Papushin 04:34, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Any information on the similar motorcycle numbering system?
