When I was young, I thought these were the weirdest cars in the world. Now I'd love to have one.

Neighbor had a couple when I was a kid. Everyone loves them. I have always hated them.

For that matter, I can’t think of any French car I like.

If you were to use Google Translate I think it would call the car a lemon.
