I remember the article on the Dodge La Femme in Collectible Automobile back in the 1980s.

I thought it was the cringiest attempt to go after the female demographic I had ever heard of.

The Dodge Royal Lancers were pretty interesting cars, with decent power and torsion bar front suspension, but had really bad quality control and rust issues. 
On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last, and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
