	*''[[Saturday Night Live]]'': SNL debuted a ~~[[Parody\|~~spoof~~]] [[~~television commercial]] in 1986 for an extremely cheap subcompact car called "Adobe," (a [[Renault Le Car]] in disguise) which according to the advertisement is literally made of clay and sells for only $179.

He then proceeded to shoot and run it over with a Chieftan tank. Although the shooting scene was clearly staged (an explosion within the car) the running over part was real and predictably reduces the car to a solid flat sheet of metal.		*''Jeremy Clarkson: Unleashed on Cars'' - [[Jeremy Clarkson]] claimed the Zastava Yugo was "A hateful, hateful car" in this 1996 video.
