The history of “Greek cars” is old and bitter , as despite the remarkable efforts for the construction and production of a simple, cheap and practical vehicle in the country, the result has not been what one would expect.
The biggest obstacle in trying to build a purely Greek passenger car was securing approval from the state and for this reason most of the efforts fell by the wayside. Production costs, the small size of the Greek market and the inability to compete with foreign automakers, compiled the causes for this failure.
