Oh boy, Oh boy, I hope they start the serial production of the 4 door Delorean prototype, that never made it from the drawing board to production :dance:
That concept art does look cool, reminds me of a mix between a Porsche and a Aston Martin.
Where the fucks the flux capacitor? Sure it's an awesome car with Bluetooth, but does it have a glowing tube in the back?
[QUOTE=trainman1337;17819079]The deal fell through a few weeks ago, Saturn's now destined for the scrap heap.[/QUOTE]Well fuck.
[QUOTE=LSK;17818142]Where the fuck did DMC come from? I thought they died a long, long time ago. :O[/QUOTE] They did, but the name as well as all the remaining inventory were purchased by a guy in Texas who started a new DMC. Just to be clear, this new DeLorean Motor Company is not the same company that originally designed and built the DMC-12, that one went bankrupt a long time ago. This DMC a completely new company that was started after the original one died out. Until now all they've done is maintain, improve upon, and continue the production of the DMC-12. If they do pick up the Solstice it will be this DMC's first new car.
They should concentrate on remaking the old DMC Delorian exactly the was the original one was. [editline]05:39PM[/editline] But make it better too. [editline]05:39PM[/editline] And cheaper. [editline]05:39PM[/editline] Just give me a Delorian ok.

The solstice is quite ugly I reckon (probably just those weird Pontiac grills) but the mock up in the OP is kinda cool.
[QUOTE=LSK;17819064]Hopefully people will pick up on this and they'll be able to get somewhere.[/QUOTE] Yea, because it's the only cool american sports car, in my opinion. Nothing else we make really fits that role very well without being cheap and shitty.
The DMC was cool looking, but it was absolute shit. Handling was average at best and the Peugeot group V6 engine made 130hp, so it was dog slow too. I hope the Solstice gets picked up though, it's a really excellent car. The G8 should get picked up too, it was killed in its prime (just like the Fiero!)
I've always wanted a DeLorean the ultimate eye catcher.
[QUOTE=Timebomb757;17814687]My brain would explode with awesome-ness if the DMC came back.[/QUOTE] DeLorean's been a functional company for a while now, a Texan bought the remaining assets from the company and keeps like 4 dealers going. You have to custom order the cars, though.
[QUOTE=bl4h;17818096]And only about 20 are made per year.[/QUOTE] That's because only 20 people order them per year. :)
You would be better off getting the Delorean DMC-12
Fuck the Solstice, I want my Firebird back...
