I had a Hyundai Pony as my last car before I left Hong Kong. As SOON as I got to the states in 1986, the two cheapest new cars were the Yugo and another Hyundai (Excel/Accent). I chose the Excel...and kept that POS for 244K miles, until some kid rearended it in 2000.
I don't think the Pony was ever in the USA....because my Excel was like the first Hyundai here. Spartan works in some cases. I got that car new in 1986 for like $3,500, and I didn't want to be paying attention to the complexities of a stuck electric window or some obscure vacuum problem while getting myself going in USA. (Of course this car turned out to be a NIGHTMARE if you ever had to deal with that weird "feedback" carburetor in later years).
I want a very "spartan" tube set some day. Very small, and very clean chassis would be so nice to look at. I'll likely display it and run it without it's cabinet. I find the bare chassis with the well mounted CRTs very pleasing to look at. They must be very beautiful in the dark.
