Between 1948 and 1991 Skoda was a state owned company, making pretty low end cars to satisfy a social requirement for Czech citizens to have a vehicle. They had 0 bells and whistles because that wasn’t really the communist way.

As a result, non-communist car manufacturers almost always offered better quality, better kitted out models, so the likes of Skoda, Lada, and Yugo became a joke.
