The standards are different in countries like the former Yugoslavia, and people have not only a realistic understanding of the ramifications of such a vehicle, but regulatory systems which allow for their existence. they're not luxurious, or especially hardy for that matter, but they're straightforward, easy to fix transportation appliances. Same reason the Kafer-Beetle had such success in South America so many years after it left the US market. I expect a condemnation of the Tata Nano's NVH next. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Chaz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 24th 2008 1:18PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 2008 Belgrade Auto Show: Zastava Skala 55 (a.k.a. the Yugo)]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/24/2008-belgrade-auto-show-zastava-skala-55/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/24/2008-belgrade-auto-show-zastava-skala-55/</guid><description><![CDATA[kinda like cuba?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[stealth]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 24th 2008 1:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on 2008 Belgrade Auto Show: Zastava Skala 55 (a.k.a. the Yugo)]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/24/2008-belgrade-auto-show-zastava-skala-55/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/24/2008-belgrade-auto-show-zastava-skala-55/</guid><description><![CDATA[only reason people bought Zastava in Ex-Yu was due to 120% customs on import cars.<br><br>Even then, people had to wait up for 10 years for them.<br><br>And they were pure crap.
