Automobile Dacia

The present-day Dacia (pronounced DAH-shah) automobile is really a Renault of the 1970's, Dacia having aquired the tooling from Renault. Minor cosmetic changes occur every few years in an effort to increase the public's interest in purchasing a newer model.

In the plant where Dacias are made there are essentially two assembly lines, one line producing Dacias intended for sale in Romania and the other line producing identically the same car (albeit from superior parts, and assembled with greater care) for export. It is common knowledge that many Romanians living near the Hungarian border will purchase their Dacia in Hungary and drive it back home.
