There's a difference between citron and lemon ? As a french speaker this is very confusing, I thought "citron" was just our word for "lemon"

Yes, Citroën is just another word for lemon

I'll show myself out

(also I don't actually hate Citroën, only Peugeot. Citroën used to make cool shit)

Fun fact Citroën is called like that because the maker was of Dutch decent. He was called Citroen, Dutch for the fruit. One of his teachers mistakingly added the trema, and he sick with it, finding it more classy and easier to pronounce for the French than his Dutch spelled name.

peugeot cars may be crap, but their pepper grinders are pretty good.
