[QUOTE="Tom Schindler, post: 1010044, member: 56140"] I don't believe the Yugo was a failure. It was a dirt cheap car made in a near 3rd world country. You can't buy a car today for next to nothing these days. If I were at the age of a first car purchase and a sub $5,000.00 car was available, I would have gotten one. A guy my Dad worked with owned 3 of them. He would drive 70,000+ miles a year. He couldn't buy something that cheap (very reliable for him) to throw away in just over a year. This guy drove Subaru's for years. He had better luck with a Yugo than he did with a Subaru. Sales numbers prove failures or successes in the automotive world. IMO, the Mustang II wasn't a failure. Laughing at a vehicle after it was a sales success but no longer cool is like making fun of people that purchased leisure suits, and bell bottom pants. Looking back, that style was pathetic, but at the time, it was awesome. It still doesn't degrade what it was at the time. The Aztek was pathetic from day one. The sales numbers reflected it. GM couldn't give them away. The Edsel was the same way. Good concept, but no interest from buyers. The Mustang II's sales numbers prove otherwise. Tom [/QUOTE]
