Which reminds me, I saw a Yugo the other day, it was exiting the highway UNDER
ITS OWN POWER!
It had the upscale trim which I seem to remember was called "Monte Carlo" or
something equally silly.

Thats probably a Focus, the Fiesta isn't out here, I don't think
they've made one since the '80s. The one in the '80s was a piece of
crap but it was IIRC really really cheap so that balances..
The 1970's Fiesta was a reasonable alternative to the Rabbit IMO.
I think they discontinued it about the time the 1981 Escort came out, give or
take a year or so.
The late 1980's Festiva was made by Kia, noisy, powerful for its weight, and
reasonably durable, making it a far better choice than a Yugo, even if the
resale value wasn't any better. Road and Track had pretty much identical 0-60
times listed for the 318i, the 2.2L Omni, and the Festiva, all with 5sp.
