Actually they pronounce it slightly differently (you distinctly hear the o
and the e).
The car is not called "lemon" (citroen), it's the name of the factory. The
car is the 2CV or "ugly duckling".
The factory was named after its founder, Dutchman Andre Citroen.

There was one of those at the museum in Lebourget. I usta visit that
place when I was looking for things to do in Paris. I always thought it
droll that the French would name a car Lemon...(Citroen)
