The bonus is that when you get run over by an American made semi they can just bury you in it....

Not "can" but "have to," considering materials and workmanship that went into that car. I guess it will be a new Yugo, only cheaper and without any quality control whatsoever:

A 1987 Consumer Reports review of the car concluded that buyers would be "better off buying a good used car than a new Yugo", and also stated that it "barely qualified as a car."

In 1989, 31-year-old Leslie Ann Pluhar, driving a 1987 Yugo over the Mackinac Bridge in Michigan, was blown over the bridge's 36-inch railing by a 50 mph gust of wind. (photo)
