There's nothing else like this on the road.

Since 1977 Lada Nivas, or Lada 4x4 as it's currently known as, have been roaming the lands of Eastern Europe.

Yes, they've changed. But in very, very little ways.

The Jeep Wrangler doesn't even look this much like a classic.

If you want a car straight out of the 1970s, you might want to find yourself a Lada 4x4.

Nothing futuristic going on here.

Just a bunch of cheap, sturdy, plastic.

But what else could you ask for on a $7,000 4x4?

It's just bulbous.

If you're looking for a hydrogen fuel cell car that doesn't look extremely boxy, chunky or large, maybe try Honda's FCX Clarity.

There's nothing else in the world like it.

Too bad GM won't sell them in America.

If you want one of these things, it'll run you about $41,500.
