    I don't agree with that. My 1991 Trooper came with the 2.6 which only makes 120 HP. It wheels just fine! Plus, this vehicle looks to be considerably small, so would think the 135 HP would not be an issue for it.

    Yeah, I've always liked the Lada Niva. I actually saw one first hand in Spain last April, parked like this:

    Ida know. My old Samurai had 91 cubic inches of raw power ... & she did quite nicely for getting around. 0 to 60 in 2.3 minutes though

    Mebbe if I'd put a 'lectric fan on it, the extra 2% of throttle response would have made it mo betta
