I still consider it Yugoslavia, after all on the globe at my house it is still as large as Italy (very out of date globe)
I wouldn't call the Yugo crap, I'd call it "cheap" or "cheezy" - but when it cost under $4000 at a time when the average car cost $11,000 it was one hell of a deal! I don't see how anybody could complain at that cost.
Actually, I didn't consider the USSR communist, I thought of it for what it was - a dictatorship.
