A Daewoo Matiz on a Moscow street in city dirt camouflage, almost blending in with the surroundings.
Next time I am going to shoot a cleaner example also wait for better weather.
But for now... there's some filter play.
Its production ceased more than ten years back everywhere... except continued unabated at Uzbekistan's Uz-Daewoo factory and may still be continuing to this day to the joy of its many fans here.
A very popular car throughout the former Soviet Union, in Russia and in Moscow.
Especially popular with pizza-delivery kind of people, ladies and everybody who needs (or can only afford) a small car.
Subsequent models, including the Chevrolet Spark, didn't quite catch up with it in popularity and are practically non-existent.
Nice photo gallery BTW at the factory's website from where come the above and below pictures.
Matiz Best!
Another testament to its popularity in Russia is a slick Matiz-dedicated website - www.matiz2.ru - worth a look.
More resources - 3D view of Matiz passenger compartment.
And there is an international Matiz site - MyMatiz.com.
On finishing this post, I almost feel like buying one myself as a second car but there's no danger of that in the near future given the finances.
And with this not so subtle a hint...
