Do you know of another game mentioned on this site initialed "DC" that has matching mechanics?
In
Dark Conspiracy, they discuss the notion of returning to cheap manufacture of older (1950s) designs for the masses, while the few elites get (what passed for the notion of) high, sleek technology of the early 21st century.
So, along with collecting vehicles for T2K, I collect data on a panoply of particularly ugly, clunky vehicles. This includes many vehicles built in after WW2, and civilian vehicles in Eastern Europe into the 1990s.

I can imagine some pretentious officer deciding he wants to use a Benz as "his" vehicle.

The challenge was in answer to the post of pictures of small Polish vehicles. What do you want for 2 days worth of free time?
Besides, as noted, the both Polski Fiats were also produced in Yugoslavia, and the 126 was also built in Germany.
That's the same reason that I did not include the Trabbi, built in East Germany. Nor was this meant to be an exhaustive study of vehicles in Yugoslavia, Romania, or the USSR, though I have some information on some of those.
I posted some Soviet vehicles in
this topic, and a
VW microbus in this one (your characters will need to bring their own shovels and rakes and implements of destruction).
I absolutely agree with you on the Mercedes Benz or any halfway toward luxury car seized.
Equally, I am sure that anyone stuck walking as the war runs on will try to seize anything that runs and use it as long as they can get away with it.
And there is a fun small scenario idea for Austria (or Berlin) - Soviets invade, and seize the official limo of the Mayor of Linz; local guerillas aim to take it back (or destroy it) as an official poke in the eye of the occupier.
An alternative scenario is some stalwart warriors of the Red Army trying to seize a luxury vehicle or two from an army impound lot to bring home as war booty, hidden on a 5-ton truck under canvas or some other more clever PC-devised plan.
Or both happening at once.....
