#Introduction
As some may know there were Polish cars produced under the brand FSO in real life - a state operated company from communist times, but agonising yet in the XXI century. Well, this is my alternative history, in which instead of FSO, Poland got PZS - which, unlike FSO, but more like Skoda and Dacia, succeeded after the fall of the communist regime For those wondering what these abbreviations stand for - FSO is Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych, in English Factory of Passenger Cars, and PZS is Państwowe Zakłady Samochodowe - National Car Works, in later years renamed to Polskie Zakłady Samochodowe - Polish Car Works.
#PZS Sawa
Sawa (pronounce Sava) was a main female character of a well-known legend about establishing Warsaw, the capital of Poland. And PZS Sawa was a main car of Polish people in late 50s and 60s. In 1952 Polish government decided that there should be a car smaller than then-currently produced PZS Wars to satisfy the need for a personal mode of transportation capable of transporting a whole average family with their baggage. Thus the PZS development office was comissioned to design such car, and in 1954 the first prototypes saw the light of the day. After a few minor changes they were accepted, so the PZS factory was expanded to be able to start the production by early 1956.
Two variants were released, standard [color=#ff000f]Sawa[/color] (internal designation 200):
It was moderately modern design despite being constructed on a ladder frame - it had front wheel drive and four-stroke engine with overhead camshaft - features that were not obvious in its class and time. This, simplicity of construction (it was said that everything in this car can be repaired with a screwdriver and a 13mm wrench ;)) and quite spacy interior made it a success (well, having no other choice too, in some countries).
#####[color=#777777]*let’s say… with true 78 RON engine parameters are horrific, way worse than real life Syrena’s engine from the same time (which really ran on 78 octane, but it was a two-stroke one); in fact it runs on 86 octane and is still slightly worse than Syrena’s S-15 engine[/color]
#####[color=#777777]**calculations are very rough and based on limited data, fact mending and imagination :P[/color]
@szafirowy01 Ahh! I love it so much! Also, loving the little bits of extra chrome on the Lux trim, because you know, chrome = luxury
@Awildgermanappears Touche! Kei cars certainly came before the Oka, however I’m fairly sure the Oka is one of the earliest cars to be designated a city car (I’m 50% sure I’m wrong on that so if someone does know, please say!).
Seeing no hope for getting a license car and the Unreal update coming soon, I officially announce that this thread and brand are not dead, but on hold until the Unreal update comes. And no, that’s not a shameless bump, not at all I intend to be significantly more active on the forum in the coming two weeks, and thus I felt that doing something here too is a good idea.

Or, hmm… That cheerful part might be replaced with crude
