Lada have a fairly long history using rotary engines IIRC.

Just did a quick google and found this: http://cp_www.tripod.com/rotary/pg07.htm

LOL that's awesome. You get so caught up in mazda's rendition of the rotary it's refreshing to see new ideas and layouts of essentially the same motor. We need a "non-Mazda" rotary section.

Amazing isnt it?! A LADA ffs!! here in the UK they are THE joke car (now that skoda make such good cars). I understand that GM are now investing in Lada so maybe they will start making credible modern cars soon. Sadly i doubt that they will be rotaries, i think Lada have turned their backs on the rotary now... but you never know!
