Re: New Yugo coming soon

The "new" Yugos will not be coming to the United States in the forseeable future. Malcolm Bricklin who had planned to import them, bailed out (he had also imported the "old" Yugos back in the eighties) he is now going to import cars from China.
But the plan had been to import new Yugos under the brand name ZMW (Zastava Motor Works - where the Yugos are built) there were basically the same cars as the old Yugos, with revised styling, and a Peugeot engine instead of the old Fiat 128 copy that had been used in the 80's.
As for now, Bricklin will be importing the Chinese made Chery, and I currently know of no plans by anybody to import the modernised Yugos.
