Details

Data come from a website then known as carsalesbase.com. I'm aware the inclusion of the Tercel is questionable since the third generation of Tercels were quite different from the first and second generations. However, I use these data to illustrate how poorly the Yugo fared against competing models, including the first and second generation Tercels. I think the inclusion is fair for that purpose.
