I was wondering if it had a similarity to the calling of a car a

those cars that are bought cheap but aren't what they're advertised to 
be. So are lemons "cheap"? I'd like to know why they're called lemons (I 
mean for sure) too...

Maybe because a car that doesn't work leaves a sour taste in your mouth
(just like a lemon)?
