(Yugo) That is the question.

If I was, and the Yugo filled my needs, I would consider it. I remember when Toyota and Datsun hit the American market. Detroit contented that availability of parts would be a problem and servicing non-existant. That proved wrong. Since 1970, my family has bought Subarus, Hondas, Toyotas and GM cars. We have had major problems with one manufacturer. So to remedy the pro- blem and decided not to buy American cars again. I piloted a "commie" airplane on several occasions. (They forgot to install an engine.) I was inpressed with its performance considering that I was flying aerobatics with it at the time. Seemed well engineered to me. I never heard any of the other pilots complain either. (It was a glider.) So gather some information from people who have first hand information on the Yugo. It may be a good car. Be weary of people who put the car down based on its orgin. The Commies are just as capable as we.
