<nettime> Yugo (for real) is BACK!!!!


So, the car once dubbed the worst ever to drive on American roads, 
and given for free to those who bought larger American sedans, will 
re-appear in the US. The cruise missiles that supposedly 
destroyed Zastava factory in Serbia (that manufactured Yugos), 
were not that efficient, apparently, since the factory continued 
production with almost no interruption. And as Serbia and the US 
are friends again, the Yugo is coming back. Under a new name, 
though: ZMW (Zastava Motor Works). Just be careful not to get 
tricked by a dealer into paying for a BMW, and driving away in a 
ZMW.

ps - that means that Yugo will not really in the future exist only in 
the cyberspace, as we believed so far
