1987 Hyundai Excel & Yugo GV Test Drive

Malcolm Bricklin, the man who bought you the sports car bearing his name, promised bigger things from a micro called the Yugo GV.  Imported from the Zastava factory in Yugoslavia, where labor costs were only 60 cents to a dollar an hour, the Yugo’s US price was only $3990.
What sold Hyundai’s here was partly price, but that wasn’t the entire story.  The Excel’s initial $4995 base sticker brought floods of customers into Hyundai showrooms.  yet, it took more than price to convince people to buy.
