Agreed, this is a pretty stupid promo for a Cadillac dealer.
Maybe their new advertising manager is Angel Cardenas?
(the dumbass reporter who climbed all over the cars at the Sacramento car show).

They should fire whoever came up with that promo as not really understanding the product.
But he's probably some yuppie who drives an electric shoebox and thinks he's doing great things for the planet. Or maybe he just rides a bicycle to work and doesn't own a car. Geez.

Found this on the internet, can't say it any better than this:
"The Yugo was a small car made in the former nation of Yugoslavia that survives in the American consciousness as the ultimate automotive failure. Poorly engineered, ugly, and cheap, it survived much longer as a punch line for comedians than it did as a vehicle on the roads"
To Gold Dragon: DON'T hide under a chair - USE the chair to beat the car to death. Although any chair would be worth more than a Yugo. So your call.

My brother was a mechanic at a Dodge dealership that sold Yugos. He’d laugh as he told me how they’d have to push them off the car carrier because they wouldn’t start and how the engines shook so much when they were being driven that the distributor hold down bolt would loosen and the timing would change as you’re driving. He said that they got to where they’d set the timing and tack weld the bolt. Man what junk.

In the comedy "Drowning Mona" ... seems half the townsfolk drives Yugos ... it's a hoot!

You all know the old saw about YUGO's?
"Why does a YUGO have a heated back window?...Warms your hands when you're pushing it!"
When it was found, the car's interior was already gutted and it was extremely rusted. Our passion is cars - if it could have been restored, it would have been. Instead, we cleaned up the body and are using the motor and engine to restore another vintage Cadillac.
er ah what about the $10,000 worth of chrome and trim that you just ruined?
Idiot!
