With all the regulations, how could something so dangerous be sold? Maybe regulations have changed since then?
Haven't seen a Yugo in California though so it makes me wonder.
My buddy and I test drove one when they first started selling them in the US. We were residing in NY at the time. After the drive we are amazed that they'd even attempt to sell such [censored] here. I think the list price of the car was about $2,000 at the time. I remember going up a hill with the thing with it floored in second gear and people behind us beeping and cursing. This was a hill on Long Island mind you, where a big hills don't exist. LOL They did sell, but word of mouth didn't help sales and the rest is history.
