The Yugo, a car my family had as I grew up in Sarajevo has ceased production. This technologically "innovative" and cheap car from the early 1980's has not changed much in design, but consumer customization and the technology being implemented by its drivers launched the modern "pimping" [customization] of cars.Production of the car has officially ended after almost 30 years. Just like the Lada and the Skoda, the Yugo was often ridiculed. Apparently Yugos came complete with heated rear windows to keep your hands warm when the car needed a push - just one of many jokes inspired by its questionable quality.
There are cars with spoilers and television screens. In a shiny white Yugo the entire boot is full of speakers for the sound system

Wont make it past the next safety inspection though
My dad owned one (it's something almost any family in former Yugoslavia went through: owning a Yugo. And hoping you'll get something better in the future
It was about time that our manufacturer stoped making it, becouse that vehicle is being produced as is for about 30 years. Fiat bought Zastava, and we will only have Fiat's vehicles. Zastava is already manufacturing Fiat Punto Classic (the one before Grande Punto), and they are planing to start with Topolino. Some even say that Linea will start producing in 2010.
The interesting thing is that I own a Lada and a Fiat

You do realise that the Lada is basically a FIAT 124 and the Yugo is based on the FIAT 128?
Yugo ftw.
