I remember an old joke about the Yugo that went something like: "Yugo - no matter what color you buy, it's still Red".

In defense of the Chevette, however, I must say that when I married my wife she owned a '78 Chevette that she had bought from her dad (his friends laughed when he bought it and said they should sell them by the six-pac since they were just disposable cars). The only real mechanical complaints I had about it was that the air filter was a special sealed unit that cost too much, and after about 175,000 miles or so, it seemed like we had to replace the timing belt every year and a half or so. Also had some trouble with the master cylinder, but heard that Chevy had some design problems and it wasn't only the Chevette. Yes, it was ugly, but we sure drove the heck out of it and I saw it driven around for several years after we sold it (just couldn't kill it).
