The Yugo was not pretty.



The Yugo GV
Worst Production Year: 1991 with fewer than 4,000 models sold (lol, I knew 1 of them)

Why Did It Flop?
The Yugo GV is what happens when you try to sell a car designed for poor, third-world Eastern European countries in the United States. Though the GV enjoyed some initial success due to its low price tag, it was simply too riddled with design flaws to be profitable. Anything that could go wrong with the Yugo often did. The engine randomly overheated and stalled, the safety restraints broke and, on occasion, the radio fell out of the dashboard. The failures were so bad that the Listeners of NPR's "Car Talk" named the Yugo the "Worst Car of the Millenium."

The Yugo wasn't pretty, but it had that basic functional look that all the dirt-cheap cars had.
But then again I think the 2CV is cool.
