Some Of History's Most Unique and Unusual Cars and Trucks

This Car's Ad Slogan Couldn't Have Been Further From True

When the Yugo GV came out, the company thought they'd stumbled upon a genius marketing campaign to sell the car. It featured people running around behind a Yugo, and the slogan, "Everybody needs a Yugo sometime." Here's the one problem: nobody needs a Yugo ever. The car has awful gas mileage for something so small, fares terribly in crash tests, and notoriously breaks down all the time. Due to all of this, the Yugo consistently lands on lists described as one of the worst cars of all time.

If there's one thing to like about the Yugo (and it's part of the reason the car has all of those other issues), it's the massive engine the thing carries. An average Yugo engine cranks out about 480 horsepower.
