Yugo no more...
« on: November 20, 2008, 02:12:46 pm »
Today the factory that produced the Yugo (Zavodi Crvena Zastava - usually known as "Zastava") shut down its production lines to get ready to produce a bargain basement model for FIAT...  The last cars produced were actually Zastava Skalas (FIAT 128's with a hatch), the last Yugos left the plant last week.

There will  be a lot of Countries who will not miss them that much at all. The Fiat itself was a decent car for the price level but not a fancy type of vehicle at all.  :)

Was the Yugo even sold in Canada? I know it was sold in the US during the late 80's until I think 1991.

Yugos were sold in Canada for a few years - perhaps 1987-1990/91?

Where-ever Yugo,
What-ever you do,
You won’t drive one of these things,
The company’s through…



Why yes, it is slow at work, why do you ask? ;D
