Yugo
Mocked eighties import
Yugo was a compact car made in Yugoslavia and sold in the United States during the 1980s.
The name became synonymous with cheap, unreliable automobiles: My first car was a Yugo that broke down constantly.
Yugo is sometimes used generically for any notoriously poor-quality vehicle.
