Fair positive mention of Delorean picked up by Yahoo (from BoldRide).

Good find, a short and positive history of the DeLorean brand.

As for the entire article, who "still misses" the Yugo brand? The auto writers who tell us repeatedly what an utter failure it was from the start?

Fair enough.

While I enjoy running across the odd Crosley, Tucker or even a Trabant in museums or at shows from time to time I never need to set eyes on a Yugo again.

Interesting that the Bricklin somehow did not make the cut.

I did not know the Yugo car, but it resembles a lot the Fiat Tipo that we have here in Italy. You can still se some of those around...

Yugos were very popular here and far more robust than any fiat unfortunately.

One big FAIL of the article.
The Trabant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trabant) was not a Soviet car. It was an East German produced car in Zwkicau Saxony.

Later on became Germany's cult item like the FIAT 500 was for the italians and the Mini for the British
