Yogos were imported into the States for a couple of years.  I quickly developed a reputation for unrealiability.  We found it to be everything you described and then some:
How do you keep your Yogo running?--I don't drive it.
How do you keep a Yugo for more than 6 months?--Park it in the garage for 5 1/2.
What car disintergrates into a ball of dust?--Any Yugo over 6 months old.
It's easier to install springs on road bumps than repair a Yugo.

Me I drive which ever car is still in the yard (and working) when I need to go someplace.  I often go dowtown in my motorized wheelchair.

Saab: Swedish Autos Are Better.

[Jerrymac]

It's pronounced "sob" isn't it?  :'(

[bluegrass]

I have always herd it called snob :-P

[beeginner]

I drive a 1971 ford f 100 360 hp but bad thing is it take 96 or 97 for gas and only 8mpg here in town. 13 on the highway lol.

[Brian D. Bray]

No it's a Sob driven by Snobs.  You justify the price that's enough to make you cry by convincing yourself that only special people drive one.

My first car was a saab, got 320,000 miles out of it back when 100,000 was alot to get out of a car. The cost comes from the fact that they used to be put together with aircraft parts. Saab still makes airplanes, but I am pretty sure they sold their car line out to somebody else, probably Ford.

My Nissan Frontier has been a good truck, but it is time to get greener......just traded it in on a Honda civic hybrid yesterday. My wife says I can't use it to haul bees around so I will have to start using the old jeep and the trailer for that.

[Kris^]

Yes, Saabs used to be "made by Trolls in Trollhatten" but alas, they were bought out by GM, and the new models are to be built in Mexico.  Sigh.  The odometer on my 1990 Saab 900 quit working about 4 years ago -- at 157,000 miles.   :-D
