The Azavedo 8 (sometimes marketed as the Creeperianized Ազավեդո 8) is a series of hatchback, super budget cars manufactured and marketed by the Andaluzian automaker Azavedo Empresa Automobilistica. The series was initially a failure within its home country of Andaluzia, however, it prospered and sold tens of thousands of cars within Creeperopolis, as the common low to lower-middle class of the country found the car series to be extremely economical. The series' cheap price and excellent gas mileage (19.2 mpg highway, 17 mpg city) with its 800cc Nadadeira (Lyoan: Paddle) engine helped it gain popularity in the Creeperian car market, eventually outcompeting the Zaldívar Esperanza in sales.
Since the series' introduction, it has become the most widespread car series driven in Creeperopolis. The series was so widely popular that in 1975, the Creeperian government began to issue registration plates with the starting designator of "A" instead of the common "P", making Creeperian Azavedo 8s with a "P" registration plate extremely rare. Additionally, the Azavedo 8 has frequently been incorrectly referred to as a Creeperian car series, rather than an Andaluzian one.
