There was absolutely nothing to like about Le Car. It was poorly designed, badly engineered, as reliable as the brother-in-law that owes you money, and uncomfortable if you were taller than a hamster. But then, it made up for it by being uglier that the prom date your Mom fixed you up with. ("He/she has a wonderful personality, and his/her parents are big in the linoleum business . . . ." )

I think Le Car was the inspiration behind the Yugo.
