Malcom Bricklin is back and he wants you to trade your Yugo in for a Chinese car.

I have a big urge to sit on that thing to squash it down to proper dimensions.

does it come with a rope for you to hold when you tow it along behind you?

Don't forget that Mr. Bricklin also brought Subaru to North America.

If you sat on it long enough it looks like it might hatch. :laugh:

With bigger tires and about 4" of chassis lift, it would be a crossover SUV. In its current configuration, it looks like a Scion (Chinese Toyota) with rounded egdes and corners.

I always liked the look of the Bricklin, (I think it's the same guy) but I guess the car is a little dated now. From what I've heard, it was pretty crappy and Bricklin ripped off the Canadian government. But at least Bricklin didn't start dealing dope like De Lorean.

Ah yes the Bricklin! I remember that! The cockpit was like a bad dream, straight out of 70's Hollywood pimp van. Just horrid. A standard Chevy 350 and fit and finish that made a Yugo look tight.
