It's not just "lemon owners" IMO.  I believe that a much bigger factor is 
"lemon dealerships."  IME with dissatisfied owners that feel they have a 
"lemon" car, they usually continue to bring the car to the same crappy 
dealership for their warranty / repair work.  The dealership fails to fix 
the car, or causes some other subsequent problems as a byproduct of the 
troubleshooting / repair process.

I think that a car being "a lemon" stems from the same philosophy that makes 
some people believe that their cars have personalities.  From a purely 
logical standpoint, neither situation is rationally possible.
