None of those, and the only one that's in eastern Europe is Uzbekistan. Maybe Alec Trevelyan could help you with this one.

Worthog VEPR designed and assembled by the engineers of Kremenchug Autotransport Enterprise.

What a steal at $70000...Not sure why it says Commander on the side?

That's it, Graywolf! I'm not sure why it says Commander on the side either, but I blacked it out just in case.

The Kremenchug Warthog owes a styling debt to the 1958 Rambler Station Wagon that I learned how to drive in. 

("Warthog" would have made a good name for it too!)
