dillman to you one you have, you have a one to start the leaders of the quote of people on the spot on the, on expected sides of the machine. the day you go a car from the communist world, that even one over hollywood it made its mark far and wide. when i see and i over how i feel like they do have sold like the they were not the just regular cars. say you go the

socialist volkswagen from yugoslavia, not the best, but they all are the maybe they you go a car that socialism concord, america with the 12 months i mean is, are sold and ronald reagan's america americans have voted this car the worst part of the millennium, the worst car in the world except became a scar and hollywood movies. and that's where it came in. i caught up in a pop icon for failed the. it's boring when everything works. that you go. the tragic hero of history invented and yugoslavia before the multi ethnic countries split into a nation states and just send it into war lights. so all 6 republicans were working on the same or maybe a simple false,

the country doesn't exist anymore the. this is the story, but we need the new story. the story of the able to go on and have instead edge from the serbian capital build. great is a die hard fan of the solid, affordable people's car from the balkans for decades. he's only driven, you goes what i think. and i over how i feel like we always get the meaning of our family when the war was in, in, in our farm or country with lobby. a. my mother with us in our hugo that was 3 years old and and the me and my brother and my mother we came to the serbia, then it was a more time and we were shot sound. busy busy the wrong side of the board with a song that describes leading the yugoslav wars of the 19 ninety's in a you go,

the band. does that run, you know, of course and yet still fails, huge concert halls today. you know, 451 of the most successful hits in the history of bulk and pop is an anthem to us simply timeless car, right. before you like you're driving. so i think that that was the 1st major you mean in the early eighty's. so and then there they were, they were always the same. you know, there was like a small changes that they were produced for 30 years. but hugo is a disaster of, of plants incorrectly gave us had been producing fee since 1953 cars like this asked of a $7050.00, a version of it. the 600 were intended to make the people immobile. the goal of yugoslavia led by use it, but it was tito from 1945 because the communist country wanted to build a successful dependence economy. research and development center was founded at

possessed of a factory at the start of the 1970s. we understood that the effect today must be form in depend that fleet, having its own r a d, that's why, oh, 1st got xyz to what one full one was j t. then simular jewel. and finally, the 40, the model that you go became, is asked of as most successful products in 1980. the 1st you go to roll off the production line was presented as a gift to you. this lab president t 2 in a festive state ceremony. the to this day, the hugo is a spartan car, within the $45.00 horsepower and a very special driving experience. and you feel buy it because it needs to be of noisy and but that that's, that's all the,

all the parts of the experience with that these are the points of the car. i like the feeling that you have always engaged when you drive these type of cars because you always have to take some exterior over here, your shift to do everything manually. but the you go did get a few small, luxurious details. very simple. inside here we kept the back, the rear defroster, where you can just the warm up your hands if you need to pause to call your camera or in a wheel. it works. and of course you have a lights are too light up in cigarettes and the context of these car interior seats a small carter, but each has 3 x rays. so everybody needs to smoke. but the heart of the you go is under the hood, a google engine $9.00 oh,

$9.00 to 03 cubic centimeters. also the, the transmission is also here so you can fix it on every parking lot. it's a very cheap got a cheap to maintain the image chevy. it's regularly takes part in the outings organized by the exhaustive of fan club in bel. great. anyone who owns a car produced at this asked of a plant is welcome. thank left members, love the bulk and style of car construction makes it good that i would have since you don't have the a b as in like a database to look at anything. so he's basically you and the costs, and you need to feel it's to understand from the beginning i was in love with these these cars bring together all generations means a lot to me because the to the same model that because of the, as a, as in victor, when i was a child, i want to capture, you know,

the feeling of themselves, but i want to make new you members visit if you the car that really made my life the way these now because the me and my brother with we did somebody speak issues, and we had a great time how so i met my husbands this way. so i always say that the, this is the reason why my doctor this it goes without saying that using tools is part of every hugo owners, daily life. you needed to love them to take good care of them in order for them to take care of you and to serve you properly. smart cut me off events from this asked of a bank that works as a tour guide for the hugo verse agency in belgrade in his festival, one o one which was sold under the name hugo's scholar. he takes taurus on a tour of the former yugoslavia. this cars,

this is simply something unique that you'll have to experience, especially while we're driving and you're looking at those buildings that were built in communist period. in virtual ism, you can simply, it's like a sign machine. highlighted every one of marco's tours is the gen x tower. the 36 story skyscraper, which opened in 1980 was one of president tito's pet projects. he had a stablish to come in a system in yugoslavia that was very open to the capitalist west and also had successful trade relations with it. i would say this is this time the to wanted to show how big and strong we are. so he, me, old buildings in new bells a big so this is the biggest building that you can see in you will slide here is the, this building symbolizes the legal, flavio and it's also happening with hugo. as i saw, 101 you ago has been exported to 74 countries including the

united states, introducing the new hugo paramount engineering achievement from yugoslavia. busy in 1985, malcolm bricklin, a philadelphia born entrepreneur, founded the hugo america company to bring the compact to you go to market in the united states, dependability in his book, the rise and fall of the worst car in history. american historian jason view, it will tell us this exciting story in a communist car sold and ronald reagan's america that alone. you know, the answer seems obvious. but americans again has no idea where you can swab you was. so it was it the communist issue. but what drew everyone's attention to the car was the price. it was $3990.00. brand new. the 1st you go advertisements, it's the a um, model t,

the volkswagen and the you go and it says introducing the same old idea. the hugo was one of those people's car that we've had in our history. everybody needs to use those. sometimes. you go to now i can afford a brand new car. and the cars sold like hot cakes, non lines of people formed in front of every hugo dealership under $4000.00 and unbeatable deal. you know, like any new fad, people rush to look at it and to buy it may be kind of it'd be the 1st person on their street to show their neighbors. you know, i'm on the crazy guy with this cheap car. i don't care about, you know, a, you know, consumer culture in america and the you go change the entire us automobile market and such a small and cheap vehicle had never been for sale there before and its 1st year in the us. the compact car from yugoslavia sold around $40000.00 units

in the 1st year the hugo was the fastest selling european import in us history. so once the you go entered the low end of the market, it showed you know, the car producers around the world that there still is a market there and it, it may be viable that hyundai, jumped in. i had to jump back in suzuki came back in the, you know, all of a sudden there was, you know, an american journalist who covered automobiles called a race to the bottom. but then more and more american car experts began to take a closer look at the cheap car from us love. yeah, it became clear it couldn't always keep up with us standards and america's most important consumer organization also turns a spotlight on the you go, the consumer reports can help you get better value and they review the you go and

consumer report said, don't buy that. you got the review alone was enough to be in the national news. you know the next morning, dear with the news, said you, you're at work. and then pretty soon it's on david, letterman, and jay leno and, and from there it, it, it went from, you know, you, romania and consumer fad to national icon and national joke, j. how do you get a you've or to go 0 to 60 in 10 seconds? i don't know to drive the class a year ago, did just that in a bit. midland movie drowning mono. think about as i see it, you got to option to buy us out. and the cops in dragnet ended up with a year ago, or after losing the 2 previous vehicles, we administer the only car that department was willing to release to us. at this point was an unmarked 1987 hugo in the series. moonlighting bruce willis does whatever he can to get rid of the unlocked car,

the ad in die hard 3. he steals a. you go to go on a man, hunt in the simpsons and car as to what country is. this car from e no longer exists, but take your for a test drive. so you want me to stop valuable. right now. it seems strange today. art professor kevin account, again based one of the most successful american exhibitions ever on the car. to you go as a toaster, a telephone, an accordion, the challenge students to reinvent this car. they also create an a you go slot machine. and then you've got piano. given hugo as a point of departure, give it a new life. other than the one it was intended to have, we call that you go next. obviously referencing its next life or its next

phase. and the only way was that it just couldn't vehicle anymore. she's running great. but while the you go became a media star with sales fleming that was partly due to developments back home and yugoslavia with a strong personality president. tito had always managed to unite the different peoples and religions in the country but after his death in 1980 more and more tensions and conflicts flared in yugoslavia leading to war in 1991. this lobby was starting to france and we use lobby with serbia, goes under un sanctions. as a business, you will, america is sanctioned and now was really b. s. and finally, and in, in 1999,

a nato bombed the hugo plant, the soft of a plan. it was a arms manufacturer. and so, you know, this is like, the final question though, of my, you go offer a, can you have it, you go without, you just lobby a. and the answer was no. the country split into 6 separate nations. the employees of this asked of a factory, fought to continue producing a small series in newly independent serbia. but on november, 11th, 2008, the last hugo rolled up the production line, the end of an illustrious chapter in european automobile history. with 800000 hugo, it's built over almost 30 years old. these, these people will this day exactly 16 years ago. the us will be very sought and very emotional. but even if you go so no longer being built, they are more alive than ever in arts and culture. actress and

comedian and a maria still yet wants to produce a tv series based on jason buicks who was born in a country that doesn't exist anymore. it was called you this lobby, a is a discontinued she's fascinating. you know, her, the you go to her represents a lost family, passed a country, she's never known. swift stage design or isabel kaiser, whose mother was from bosnia can see the multimedia project. hugo taxi with a similar motivation for 2 years. see under husband towards germany and switzerland. and a year ago, scott undocumented encounters with people from the former yugoslavia made some interior was also in the car. so a lot of persons from ex sucrose labia who sits in the car. they react really fast. they had in immediately emotions

the that's what the you could find the a new way you've sounded like in the eighty's at the time when the car was built. and that was that you like the sound track. so my use almost to bodies grow as live as tall blown that had some back. then when i was a teenager in the eighty's the that the issue that the theme was interesting because i'm from, i was born and into the east germany. and it was late, it was always like a dream place where i always assigned that side and and this car, the sauce by um, some people in a deal had this car. we had to try the every time that we had to leave the driving

with a call to try the i was sick because the, the smell of the pedal was sweetie, strong and assess the most likely wisdom cause the bags for 3 x trays, one in the front 2 in the back. every journey is a new adventure for me. and you know, this was my very 1st car in the former yugoslavia given to me by my father from my 18th birthday. he works for the st. just. it was all over, leapt this in eucharist, lavion topic for me because it was the war in the ninety's. then i've also a child and i just had this really doc pictures and even my family maybe they didn't spoke so much about their past in yugoslavia. i didn't know

that it was we at martin nice country and this, i think this light went up after the project. i have also a feeling how it could be before the walk or about the events as part of the street in macedonia. music and hugo organs. brought the you go back to life in a 2018 wraps all kinds of slovenia and artists collective traveled from europe to the us. whether you go for a very special performance it's definitely more than a car i would say. and there's nothing on the car, but it's, it's a story, it's the idea. it's a single time you have some time. but also some of that kind of clash social needs and make up the one side and the other side of these big things and, and collects that maybe some concepts. and even in the us, the story of the worst car in the world is far from over. can we bring this guy

again and c o o people react doping. we do you go in the middle of some streets and getting the reactions from people. uh, the photos like price list because we buy it, for example, the hard when. why don't they bring them back to america? man, i like them. i like that. yeah. i'd rather you go that essentially felt great filmmaker phillip drilling. it says also just returned from america. he was there filming for a movie and, and he hopes will shed new lights out in the midst of the hugo dupel being diverse in america. and i kind of wanted to explore, what does that mean? you know, to be diverse or is sometimes is the best thing for visitors. i think is the best sometimes because we were going slow and not just fast and everything. today's kind

of fast rapid. everything works for everything is taking all of that as we needs. i think that's, that's, that is not just technology based that it's human because in order to not to go mental and crazy, we need something that is human and then and discovery is human, is a symbol assignment from all the times. if everybody talks about that that they were better and the people lives better than they were like more, more human. the hugo brings back memories of a time when everyone from the serbs to the bosnians still celebrated to the united yugoslavia the and this symbols of a common balkan identity lives on. it's not the best, but these are the maybe with all these cub herbs and things and, and needs to have something that is, howard hugo is something that these are heritage,

but maybe it's time to focus on something to make something gars again. this is the story, but we need the new story. we need something to call our as again, if it's something that it does resembles the yoga. great. so it's only fitting that the german, serbian economist and entrepreneur alexander village wants to bring another twist to the fates of the cults car i decided to purchase a brand, which was you go with this strongly attention to bring the you go car, back on the road to build a new modem, you go and to present and lounge those cards on the real x full in build rates. 2020 and 7. the rights to the hugo brands are in high demand. galia to teaches at belgrade university and advises the serbian government on economic issues had to fight off strong competition. for example,

the croatian monte re months whose company has already taken over the luxury branch book, got a card readable, got to share on is the fastest production part of the not very much. so wanted to acquire, acquire the yoga yoga brand and to launch to launch a new we'll go already. there has been some renderings of these cars and the yeah. first come 1st come 1st serve. this was a longer, a longer process. i had several discussions including the service ministry, holiday screwed with welding you go make a come back in the new millennium. we are, we are forming a group of google. it was us. so if you google specialist coming from the old uber models, we are in discussion with the extra boost lavion designers to prepare

to prepare in the rooms database stuff from us. it only out, for example, is such a candidate who has already presented some very, very interesting, interesting good rendering. day on, christoph has designed via fills ranging from compact cars. to convertibles is designs for the new hugo also include an s u, v, and even event put port to pollution in mind that i find it interesting to redesign. oh legend. because a translate there, i suspect to extend to emergent design language, hoping to do and adapt to them to the standards of the automotive industry about time, you know, the 3 level do and, and a, somebody thought, awesome, i knew that the, you guys style could be used for call that even today kind of come moody as an attractive and relatively spoke a few minutes. not. you know, it's even the sports. alexander village is currently negotiating with european and

chinese car companies to provide the technical platform for our relaunch of the hugo. these are a new exciting prospect for the globally network. seeing if you go into the the feeling about the hugo is alive and this feeling we want to take to capture and bring it into. then you'll, you'll go to say it in the simple creation language. you go to say, what was it to go? so you go really driven for a long time. the story, if you go on it's, it's what is the story that's kept you good life? it's not the car just kept. you will likely the story. say you go to successful product of a communist country has won over the globe, played a role in creating a sense of identity and radiated charm through it's very flaws. the worst car in

the world just keeps on going. and it's story which already reads like the scripts for a hollywood movie is far from over more automotive tales. next time on the
