First SUV Ever

Bartek Sikorski · 09-30-2007, 10:05 AM

Nowadays SUV’s are very popular all over the world, all major car makes started production of their own all-road luxury cars. The concept behind the SUV is to get comfort of the luxury car but have four wheel drive on big rims so that you can go off the road with the same feeling.
But it seems that in Soviet Russia they had already this ideal car - you can see here a luxury Soviet “Pobeda” (”Victory”) car on the high wheels, and people say it is not a self-made thing but was in production in limited edition at the car factory, so it can be probably not only the first Russian SUV but first SUV ever.

Reminds me a lot of the X6 as Luw' has hinted at.

I'm guessing THIS is the reason why Toyota decided to not seel the LandCruiser in Europe.. the competition is tough, and obviously much more pleasing aesthetically!
