Talk:Lemon (automobile)

This article was quite badly done, I've re-written it in a minimal form. Just thinking, it might be better to move this to 'lemon (car)' rather than having 'lemon car' as the subject.

Absolutely, I've never done a page move, but if it doesn't get done soon, I may make this my first.

I'm not sure the ads were in the 60s, they were possibly the 70s, I will check and then update the page at some point.

I really don't see the relevance of a random car image to this article either. - BrandonR 02:11, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

I've removed it at least twice, let's hope it sticks this time. If the editor who added it can find a picture of an actual "lemon," that would be appropriate for the article, but we can't just include a random auto and say it "could be a lemon."

Historical info?

Was there any discussion of the history of the term on the previous editions? Seems a good thing to include...SB Johnny 14:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I request too, why "Lemon"? - willie

I could be mistaken, but I was under the impression that "lemon" came from the Edsel the "face" of which looks like it just ate a lemon. I have no citation for this, though; it could be wrong. 72.74.204.205 15:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the lemon

CarFax

I feel pretty positive someone from CarFax came in and suggested themselves as the place to find out about lemons. Very clever guys as it is somewhat relevant to the subject... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.226.181.41 (talk) 17:36, 24 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
