You can compare Yugos based on performance, but what is the point?  Yugos 
are for basic transportation, not performance, just as these huge luxury 
sedans, outside of BMW at least are meant primarily for luxury.  Lets 
look at Rolls Royce.  It is a splendid luxury car, but apart from decent 
acceleration, does it perform?  NO.

Go ahead and compare these cars on performance, but why?  That isnt what 
they are meant for.  When you compare performance, you open the door for 
comparison of them to a Ferrari, or Porsche, or Lotus, and these sedans 
will lose..
