Malcolm Bricklin, the man behind the Yugo, to lead new import wave in 2007.




Hmmm... is Detroit still reeling from the Yugo?

KIA?  That's what I see.  A minor player, if a player at all.  The Yugo (not a bad little car, really a Fiat) was never successful in our market, neither was Fiat, Triumph, Peugot, or any number of other makers.  As the article says, the US car market is a TOUGH market to penetrate.
