yugo

For other car models also commercialized under the marque Yugo, see Zastava. The Zastava Koral (known in the USA simply as the Yugo and Serbia as Jugo and Jugić) is a subcompact vehicle built by Zastava corporation.The car design is based on the mechanics of the Fiat 127 and Fiat 128, under license from Fiat, and a modified Autobianchi A112 body style. The Yugo entered the United States by means of Malcolm Bricklin, who wanted to introduce a simple, low cost car to that market. It was sold in the US from 1985 to 1991, with the most American units sold in a year peaking at 45,000. The Zastava Koral is still being sold in the former Yugoslavia with an updated design.
