I'm not in the market to buy a new car. 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.
