Malcolm Bricklin

entrepreneur Canada

Malcolm Bricklin is an American entrepreneur and automotive businessman known for his efforts to introduce foreign car brands to the United States, notably the Yugo in the 1980s. Bricklin's ventures often involved risk and innovation, and he played a significant role in popularizing small, economical vehicles during a time when American consumers were seeking alternatives to gas-guzzling cars. Despite the Yugo's reputation for poor quality, Bricklin's marketing strategies initially led to significant sales, making the Yugo a symbol of both novelty and failure in the automotive industry.
