GM to Congress: 'We will build Yugos!'

Detroit, MI--General Motors Corporation announced a plan to save the company from dissolving, which, if happens, would put over 200,000 autoworkers worldwide into the unemployment line. Though the price of oil has dropped, compared to mid-2008 levels, American car manufacturers are still reeling from the troubled economy. The plan calls for the world's largest automaker to exclusively produce Yugos--and some Yugo SUV's-- and 'only borrow a little bit more money from the U.S. government.' Yugos, whose production ended last November, were Yugoslavian (Serbian) affordable, subcompact cars, arriving on the U.S. auto market in the 1980's. The plan was presented to the United States Congress on Thursday in a well organized, 200-slide PowerPoint presentation complete with over 1100 pie charts and pie graphs. "There were a lot of circular charts and graphs and, frankly, they were very convincing. The Yugo idea is brilliant. I bought one in 1987 for $350 and it came with a case of Keystone Light, which, of course, I refused," said U.S. Senator, Robert Casey Jr.(PA).
