The Yugo is a small car that was produced in the former Yugoslavia from 1980 to 1992. It was based on the Fiat 127 design and was known for its affordability and compact size. The Yugo was marketed primarily in the United States and became popular for its low price, making it accessible to many buyers. Despite its affordability, the Yugo faced criticism for its build quality and performance. It struggled to compete with other small cars in the market, leading to a decline in sales. Production ceased in 2008, and the Yugo remains a notable example of Eastern European automotive history.
