Say goodbye to the $4000 car
Well, if you were not aware that Serbian (haha, yes you read correctly) automaker Zastava makes the Koral compact car it’s probably because you know it by another name, the “Yugo”. When production ceased on November 11, 2008, the company had produced just under 800,000 cars.
American origins of the Yugo data back to Malcolm Bricklin, who brought the car over, and previously brought over the Subaru. Though the Yugo in America started in 1985, the “fun” was short lived and the last one was sold in 1992. Not aided by incidents in which the cars were slept off the road resulting in injury and death, the death of the Yugo will go largely unnoticed by much if not all of the developed world. Maybe the Cubans will pick them up on the second hand market…
