  • Iranian Festiva

    There's something almost charming about this video. It's pretty simple: a man driving a car on the highway. The hook, of course, is that the car looks like it's been masticated by Godzilla.


    It says in the article that it is an Iranian built "Kia Pride" I could tell Festiva 4 dr. right away.
    It is fun to see they still are being built.
    it runs so sweet

      Looks like it was recovered from a bomb site. Not surprising that another one just like it pulled up beside. They are probably strewn like litter along the road over there.

            Beautiful shot. Proves that Festy clones from Kia and/or maybe even Mazda are still in the running for 'mass-produced current model' automobiles somewhere in the world. And rightfully so. Over here Fiat 500 is all the rage at the moment (mostly feminine audience) and I parked beside one yesterday. Much the same footprint (length and width) as a Festy but much smaller in every other respect. Seating tunnel at the front and next to nothing for seat legroom at the back. Exterior glass is about half. But the one I looked at had 16 inch alloy rims and sporty/sexy looking tires.

              ISNA (see bottom of pic) is the Iranian Students News Agency, FYI.
              90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods
              09 Kia Rondo--a Festy on steroids!
