    IONS: Buy ONE, get ONE FREEEEEEEEE! like YUGO

    Is Smart Parts heading down this road? : http://www.inet.hr/~bpauric/epov.htm

    Auto critics tended to laugh at the Yugo, and branded it more of a toy than a car. They also pointed out a series of flaws, and as it happens many of the flaws were valid. Many owners complained of mechanical problems including premature engine failure, bad brakes, poor shifter and transmission, and faulty electrical systems, and terrible dealer service. The insurance industry faulted the cars crash worthiness, which didn't help matters.

    In early 1989 Yugo America went bankrupt, which threatened to remove the Yugo from the USA. No 1989 models were imported, so dealers sold leftover 1988 models. Reorganization brought Yugo America back to life, but it faced a major battle to repair it's poor image.

    In 1999 the NATO bombed the Zastava plant, because it produced strategic arm

      IONS keep getting cheaper and cheaper...... Will they get to a "Buy one, get one" phase, similar to the YUGO.
      I'm just pointing out similarities and started a thread to discuss if smart parts will share a similar fate....

        As long as there is another paintball company around to sue, Smart Parts will never die.

              OOH! i just had an idea, dumb yes, but i wonder....


              what if we hooked up a rocket engine and slid it down the barrel of an ion.... then set it off!

              i dont think they'll ever have a buy one get one deal, maybe buy one get the next half price... but i dont have to worry about ever buying one. or getting one for that matter.
