Just for grins, go to www.okaauto.com to see the latest entry into the US market. Even got a rallye car that does 80 mph and a police version.

Which proves once again that I should not ever post anything at 4:17 AM. Try www.okaauto.com which should work.

At least in that family. The Yugo was derived from a license built Fiat that was first built in Russia and then production was transferred I guess to Yugoslavia. I agree that it seems to be yet another rendition of an old Fiat/Yugo. They were not all that bad for the money if you didn't mind working on them once in a while.

LOL @ Bill. HA!

Seriously though. I kinda like it. I see it as potentially being the next big thing. I bet you could put some rims on it, chip it, maybe smack a SC on it... wow. That thing would be incredible!!!

**BLING BLING**

In fact, I just emailed them offering my KR for trade on 72 of them. I'm awaiting a counter offer.

Like you would ever part with your KR

I used to have a Yugo. Paid $350 for it and my dad had to drive it home since I was only 15 and didn't know how to drive a standard. He complained all the way home because he couldn't find out how to get the stupid thing into second gear. It sat for about 3 months until one of my uncles offered to have it towed away as a trade in on another car. We never could keep the the thing running and the people at the parts stores started laughing when I asked for parts for a Yugo.

Just what America needs, another small car to get run over and then listen to all the greenies complain about SUV's again.

you know, if you read more carefully, the race version has a whopping 35hp and a top speed of 70 mph. And, you can order the race trailor so you can trailor it to the track, LOL.

Haha, I was just thinking when I juice up my camaro with a shot I ADD over FOUR TIMES the horsepower with liquid nitrous oxide then that engine makes total. Woohoo, I get over 4 russian race engines when I push the button!!

OKrA, I thought that was a green vegetable popular in the Georgia region of Russia.

Did you notice that rollbar, it looked just like the painter's scaffolding on the house next door.

Since this is the F150 site, I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the Pick Up model...
