Believe it or not the Yugo (for the price) wasn't a bad car. Remember thy imported it over here to be a disposable car. I worked with a guy that had one. It was junk IMHO, but he thought it was a great commuter car and put 300K miles on it before it wasn't worth saving any more.

There was a guy in Hemmings Sports and Exotic Cars magazine who had one. He upgraded all the weak points and made his into a great little car. Apparently it's such a close rip of of a Fiat design that the far superior Fiat parts actually fit.

That van looks a lot like a VW but the slope of the rear is wrong, and that guy would be a giant, so you must be right about it being a Yugo.

One more Yugo note, they stopped importing the GV in the early 90's but just stopped making them in Yugoslavia in 2008.

Not so much a Fiat rip, they were built with the mechanicals of the Fiat 128 under license from Fiat, with a body style that closer resembled the 127
