Ladas were available in Finland untill 2009. Last few years sales declined dramatically to about 100 cars a year. In 2008-2009 models 117 and 119 were for sale but only for few months. Last year only the Niva was offered. The importer of Ladas - Delta-Auto - ran into financial difficulties in 2009 and was reorganized. This meant that Alfa Romeo/Fiat agency was handed to another group called AutoFennica which already had Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep agency. Thus AutoFennica became the first importer in Europe to have Chrysler and Fiat agencies in same house. Delta-Auto cancelled - temporarily I hope - importing of Ladas and Lancias and now focuses on Kia.
Here is Ladas Finnish website. It says: at the moment new Lada cars are not delivered.

I think I read somewhere that Delta still does have a deal for importing Ladas, but it doesn't have a deal for any cars to be delivered from the factory this year
I hope they will continue importing Ladas, although I'd never want to own one myself For Lancia, I think that AutoFennica is focusing on building up a dealer network for Fiat and Alfa Romeo first, before starting sales of the less popular Lancia.
