I know, because I grew up in Europe, and saw it with my own eyes.
PS: I have a friend who to this day, owns and drives a trabant. It is by far a real experience to go for a cruise in one of these cars. In fact, the car is so popular for parody that there are many jokes, and songs about it.

It cost a fortune based on the wages at the time. And it was a total peice of shit. But if you had fun w/e :)
