The Escort was the small family car of the moment in 1980, but there was that damping issue, the Kadett D/Astra Mk1 was a worthy rival & then there was the Golf.

Dacia, a Renault subsidiary since 1999, entered the 21st century with a product line still largely dependent on the old R12-based models, its staple product since the communist era. The 1.9 diesel 4X4 pick-up is shown with the aged vehicle's final facelift in this 2002 Romanian brochure. #weirdcarbs
