say you go the socialist volkswagen from yugoslavia. not the best. but these are the maybe they, you go a car that socialism concord, america with the 12 months. i mean these are sold and ronald reagan's america americans have voted this car, the worst part of the millennium, the worst car in the world that 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 been to the new best lobby before the multi ethnic countries split into a nation states and just send it into war lighting. so all 6 republicans were working on the same or maybe

a simple fall sun 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 age 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 see. and i over how i feel like we always get the meaning of our family when the war was even in our farm or country with lobby. a. my mother with us in our hugo that was 3 years old in and me and my brother and my mother we came to the serbia, there was a more time and we were. busy wrong, the wrong side of the board with a song that describes leading the yugoslav wars of the 1990s in a hugo,

the band that run, you know, of course and yet still feels huge concert halls today. you know, 451 of the most successful hits in the history of bulk and pub, is an anthem to us simply timeless car before a like you're driving. so i think that that was the. busy first major, you mean 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 3 years about hugo is a possessive of plants. incorrectly gave us had been producing fios since 1953 cars like possessed of a 7050, a version of it, the 600 were intended to make the people immobile. the goal of yugoslavia led by jo separately, tito from 1945 because the communist country wanted to build a successful independence economy. research and development center was found it

possessed of a factory at the start of the 1970s. we understood that the effect today must be form in depended fleet, having its own r a d. that's why all 1st got size to one full one was j t. then simular jewel. and finally, the 40 the models, the hugo became zest 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 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 desire these type of cars because you always have to take some exterior over here. you have to do everything manually. but the you go did get a few small look serious details. very simple. inside here we get the best or the rear defroster where you can just the warm up your chains. if you need to pause to call your chemical or in a wheel. it works. and of course you have a lights are too light up in a cigarette and the context of these card 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, we hear of

a google engine 909 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, gotta keep them in things the damage it. it's regularly takes part in the outings organized by there's lots of a fan club in bell. great. anyone who owns the 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 basically you and the costs, and you need to feel it's to understand from the beginning i was in love with these guys. these cars bring together all generations means a lot to me because the, to the same model this weekend as a, as in victor. and when i was a child, i want to capture, you know,

the old feeling and also sell just, but i want to make new a new memories visit if you the car that really made my life the way these now because the me and my brother with we did somebody if occasions and we had a great time. also, i met my husbands this way. so i always say that this is the reason why my daughter did 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 the dust 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, the scars,

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 fine machine. a highlight of every one of marco's tours is the genex tower. the 36 dori skyscraper, which opened in 1980 was one of president tito's pet projects. he had established a communist system in yugoslavia that was very open to the capitalist west and also had successful trade relations with it. i would say this is peter peter wanted to show how big and strong we are. so he made old buildings in new bells a big so this is the biggest building that you can see that it states. introducing the new hugo paramount engineering achievement from yugoslavia. busy trip 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, the vendor bill 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 just lobby. it 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 model t, the volkswagen in 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. every body needs are used though. sometimes the line you go to is 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 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, i'm the crazy guy with this cheap car. i don't care about, you know, uh 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 and 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 a 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 you best lab. 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 that. you go, the consumer reports can help you get better value and they review the you go and consumer report said, don't buy the 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 all in the david, letterman, and jay leno and, and from there it, it, it went from, you know,

you go mania 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 or you go did just that and event midland movie drowning mono. think about as i see it, you got to option to buy a 1000 and the cops in drag near the end up with a hugo or after losing the 2 previous vehicles. we have 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 you 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 cars to what country is this car from

is no longer exists, but take your for a test drive. so you want me to stop the house right now. it's being strange today . art professor kevin, how can, again, based one of the most successful american exhibitions ever on the car, 2 years ago as a toaster, a telephone and accordion challenge students to reinvent this car. they also created a hugo slot machine. and a new the piano given to 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 it's next life or it's next phase. and the only way was that it just couldn't vehicle anymore. she's running great

but well the you go became a media star with sales fleming. that was partly due to developments back home and yugoslavia with his strong personality president t t o 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 when 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 rode off the production line. the end of an illustrious chapter in european automobile history with $800000.00, you goes bill to over almost 30 years. how did these 2? well does they? exactly? 16 years ago. the us the 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 maria still yet wants to produce a tv series based on jason buick sport. was born in a country that doesn't exist anymore. it was called jesus live. yeah,

it was a discontinued she's fascinating. you know, her, the, you go to her represents a last family passed a country. she's never known. swift stage designer, isabel kaiser, whose mother was from bosnia, can see the multimedia project. you go taxi with a similar motivation for 2 years. so you and your 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 x who could slave yeah. who sits in the car? they react really fast. they had it immediately. emotions the that's what you can solve. the new wave sounded like in the eighty's at the time

when the car was built. and that was that you like the sound tract. so my use almost to bodies grow as live as tall blown that had some background. when i was a teenager in the eighty's, the told me that the issue that the scene was interesting because i'm from, i was born and into the east germany. and it was late, it was always like a, a dream place where always the sun is shining and, and this card assessed by some people in the d. do i had this car? we had to try the every time then we had to leave the driving with a call to try the i was sick because the smell of the pedal was sweetie, strong and decisive. uh um was like a wisdom cause the

air bags but 3 x trays. one in the front. 2 in the back. every journey is a new adventure for me. right now ive been you know this, this was my very 1st car in the former yugoslavia and i was given to me by my father for my 18th birthday. what's the st just it was it all over? leapt this and you close 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 equal slab. yet i didn't know that it was we at martin nice country and this, i think this light went up after the project. i. i have also a feeling how we could be before the was a buffet. advance

is because of the street in macedonia. musician hugo oregon's brought the you go back to life in a 2018 rap song. you had to slovenia and artist 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 it'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 of socialism make up on one side and the other side of this big dream send and collapse 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 see to, oh uh, before reacting, stopping we do you go in the middle of some streets and getting the reactions from

people uh, the photos like priceless because we bought for example, in heartland. why don't they bring them back to america? man, i like them. i like. yeah. i'd rather you go then attached to it. felt great filmmaker, phillip drilling. it says also just returned from america. he was there filming for a movie, and he hopes will shed new lights on the mid the you go you for 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're, we're going slow and not just fast and everything. today's kind of fast rapids, everything works or everything is taking all of that as we needs. i think that 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. they have a symbol. finally, all the time is 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 together. in the united yugoslavia and this symbols of a common balkan identity lives on the 5th us. these are the maybe with all these cub herbs and then and, and needs to have something that is how it's usually 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 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 that foss this production car, the lock very much. so wanted to acquire,
