In France the Fuego is considered as a gay car...

The Fuego was sold in North America though AMC, which was owned by Renault at the time. And of course, the car was made fun of due to it's name: Fuego is Spanish for Fire, and some indeed caught fire due to electrical faults in early cars.
Also, sports versions had a chassis with minimal suspension changes that couldn't cope with the turbocharged engines they had.
That being said, just be glad that AMC didn't actually build the Fuego--it would've been much, much worse.
