The American businessman who imported nearly 150,000 Serbian "Yugo" cars into the United States...

I suppose they kept the "Yugo" name, even though Yugoslavia no longer exists, because it has such a great slogan.

"Yugo, but you don't go far!"

I want a vintage Zil. That's a Soviet era Russian limo with all the trimmings. It was reverse engineered from a Studebaker.

Or a Trabant, the East German car with molded beaverboard body panels that tended to disintegrate when wet.

Those cars died like spring snow on a sunny day in May when East Germany vanished. Those cars made Yugos look expensive. I've heard of them winding up in a dumpster.
