The term 'Bygone Serbian Auto' refers to the Yugo, a four-letter word. The Yugo was a subcompact car manufactured by the Yugoslavian automaker Zastava Automobili from 1980 to 2008. It was one of the most affordable cars in the world at the time and was exported to many countries, including the United States. Despite its low cost, the Yugo was criticized for its poor build quality and reliability. Today, the Yugo is remembered as a symbol of the bygone era of Yugoslavian automotive production.
