I wouldn't rock one as an only car (too many compromises), but I LOVE these! I'd pick one up as a second car in a heartbeat.

The Citroen Duck kicks ASS!! I had a friend in high school that had one and we'd all pile into it like a clown car...

Did you know that SEATS were actually OPTIONAL in the car when it first came to the States?!

I'm calling BS on that one. I think you've fallen victim to an urban myth. Yugos were $5k new and came with seats. Some models had an optional upgrade to "Easy Glide" seats which were shite.

I don't think you'll be able to confirm your assertion but of course, I could be wrong. ;-)
