YANGWOOOOOOOOOO
AUTOMOBILE THREAD
WOOOOOO
THIS IS A THREAT TO THE CEO OF KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN
BET YOU AIN’T EVEN LIVING IN KENTUCKY
BITCH
no just kidding this is an actual company
Yangwoo Motor Group (양우 모터 그룹) often known simply as Yangwoo or YANGWOOOOOOOOOOOO, is a South Korean large-scale engineering firm and automotive manufacturer based in Seoul, South Korea. Yangwoo Motor Group was founded during the 1950s, at first only making buses and other commercial vehicles.
The Founding Fathers of Yangwoo
As stated before, Yangwoo Motor Group was founded in during the 1950s. Contrary to popular belief, the founder of Yangwoo is NOT John Yangwoo. It was, in fact, Yu-jin Jang-Woo. Jang-Woo had a dream. Just like Martin Luther King, but just less… Monumental, I suppose. Jang-Woo dreamed of Korea, where everyone has the ability to use a bus. And so Mr. Jang-Woo started making buses and shit. I didn’t really think this through.
The Early Days
The first ever vehicle made by Yangwoo was the Yangwoo Small Bus. It was a small bus, made from 1962 to 1970. Not many were made, as the words ‘small’ and ‘bus’ should never be in the same sentence. Needless to say, it was a dumb fucking idea.
During the 1980s, Yangwoo started manufacturing vans and minibuses. The company’s first passenger vehicle, the Yangwoo Tabasco, was unveiled in 1982 at the Former Yangwootown Motor Show.
The Demise of Yangwootown (South Korea)
Yangwootown was a thriving town with the population of 328,765 (1990). However Yangwootown burned to the ground during the Great Korean Fire of 1990 (citation needed). The construction of the new Yangwootown started in 1996, in western Serbia.
Joint Venture With AvtoKyrgyzstan
In 1990 Yangwoo partnered with the government owned Kyrgyzstanian AvtoKyrgyzstan, forming KgYangwoo. The plan was to conquer the previously rather untouched Central Asian market. The company began the production of vehicles in 1992, in the new KgYangwoo plant located in Western Kyrgyzstan. KgDaewoo produced vehicles under the brand name, uh… Under the brand name KgYangwoo. I know, what a shocker.
The first ever KgYangwoo vehicle was the 1992 KgYangwoo Habanero. It was boring. So let’s focus on the second car they ever made, the 1995 KgYangwoo Tabasco!
(1000cc 4x4 model shown)
The Tabasco had several configurations. Such as the 2-seater van, 2-seater refrigerated van, 5-seater people carrier, 6-seater people carrier, 7-seater people carrier, and 8-seater people carrier. Despite having fuck ton of different seating layouts, it only had three engines. 880cc rear mounted inline 3, 1000cc (also rear mounted) inline 3, and the (still rear engined) export version for European market. But we don’t talk about that one as it’s actually a somewhat normal vehicle. Anyway! Enough interesting stuff, let’s get back to the boring stuff.
Conquering the US market
In 2002 Yangwoo released the second generation Yangwoo Quack. It was offered with as a sedan and a wagon, but for whatever reason, the sedan model never really took off. The wagons were the money makers.
Pictured above is the 2002-2007 Yangwoo Quack 1.0 Sedan. The Quack was the last car in the US to be sold with a 3-speed automatic transmission.
Yangwoo Kitchen Appliances
During the 1990s, Yangwoo released their first ever microwave. The Yangwoo YW-90S-HSM-HW-MX750. The YW-90S-HSM-HW-MX750 was a good 90s microwave, producing maximum of 750 watts. It had a glass spinning plate, making sure your leftovers are cooked thoroughly.
The YW-90S-HSM-HW-MX750 sold well, given that it was a microwave.
Anyway because lore is boring and nobody wants to read sixteen paragraphs worth of text regarding a fictional car manufacturer that also makes microwaves, I’ll just jump straight to the Yangwoo models list
