Yugo is a Brand - Zastava is the company. Zastava never made a three-wheeled car or truck to the best of my knowledge. But they did build under liscense the FIAT 600, a small, rear engined, suicide-doored, job until 1980.
And the Yugo was named after Yugoslavia, where Zastava builds their cars and guns.

Pretty much amazing

I thought it was a British firm that manufactured the 3-wheel machine in some Mr. Bean skits. I know they ceased production a few years ago, but were known for the 3-wheeled machine.

Reliant and Bond were the two most important three-wheeled car manufacturers in Britain (if you don't count Morgan, which stoped making tri-cars around 1950) Reliant also made 4-wheeled cars. And who could possibly forget, the "amazing" Bond Bug?

I dont know how much you guys know about the Reliant Robin [altho Prosche is right with what he said] BUT if you take the kind of image the Yugo has in the US, remove all last vestiges of dignity & respect and add a whole lot more laughing and snide comments, you're about where the 'Plastic Pig' is today.

I guess you're right - few people burst out into uncontrolable laughter at the sight of a Yugo, but even fewer could control themselves at the sight of a Reliant Robin!
