How Do We Stop From Becoming The Next "yugo" Owners Group?

Not many cars have been slighted more than the Yugo.

Isn't the Yugo the one that was cheap and cheaply built. Elio is going for inexpensive and well built. Big difference. :-) Z

No real way to prevent it per say unless you don't buy one or it never makes production. I am sure we all hope its of reasonable quality and reliability. And Elio has to get this right because if they lose the faith of the consumer they are as good as dead. They cant have this forum full of dissatisfied people saying the Elio is another Yugo. Rave reviews are a must.

Fingers crossed Z has it right!!!!

I read somewhere that Z is always right. I don't have time to search for that post, but perhaps Z could just verify it.

I can confirm that Z demonstrates the highest level of common sense and rational well thought out non-hostile postings.

I shall, henceforth, pay the closest of attention to ALL posts guru Z makes!!!!!

I heard a song parody once titled "In a Yugo" (a parody of the Elvis song 'In the Ghetto') that came to mind the INSTANT I saw this post!

The concept of the Yugo and the Elio remain the same, an affordable, economical alternative to the rest of whats out there. The concept will never go out of style, while the cars may come and go. I always thought the Yugo had great potential, but the pressures of the American car buying public killed it by making it something it was not. Much like the discussions that go on here, what power options will be available, a/c, horsepower, etc, Americans like the concept, provided they can have it their way (the Burger King effect). It is these 'options' that end up detracting from what the car was intended to be, and subsequently altering the future direction and success.
