Moskvitch 2141 Aleko. Many European front wheel drive cars had 'east-west' engines to save space, but the 2141 went for a longitudinal engine agead of the front axle in the same way as Audi.

Moskvich 2141 Aleko. Unveiled in 1986, the Aleko first sold in 1988, 12years after the Simca 1307/8 cars which it resembled. Rumours of collaboration between Moskvich and Peugeot over the car's design have been disproved, and most likely the Aleko was simply copied to give Moskvich a modern product.
