Hahaha! Can't escape the 80s design. The wheels remind me of a jet turbine.
Well, if they stick true to DeLorean's vision, it could sport a rotary.

Gotta love the Delorean. It's look is timeless. Not sure I'd buy one with rims like that though. hehe TOO BIG!!!

I considered buying a refurbished one from Texas, but thought I had best stick to my S2000. Still though, I hope to own one some day, preferably the 1983 model if possible.

The new cars are $42,500 and they are only making 500 cars. They are going to look the same as they did before, and they are just complete rebuilds of the old car. Its nothing too exciting....sorry

Johnny Carson lost boat loads of cash investing in Delorean in the 80's. They can still build the cars new. A shop in Texas bought all the remaing parts. I don't see this happening with an all steel body which to me is an RX7 without a rotary.

I'd so get an old school DMC-12. It was wierd cuz I just watched Back to Future a few days ago! (So I was bored ok?) I wonder what'd it look like if you modernized it a bit... put some nice wheels on it, lower it and maybe a body kit... seems like a good photoshop contest!

Absolutly terrible! The back is way to long the front looks like a smashed chevy.
I can not believe that is the real design.

Well this company has been making factory refurbished deloreans for years. I guess now they are making fully brand new ones, which will be a bit better. So basically nothing all that new, except you can buy one that's not refurbished now. The refurbished ones though are almost as good as new, and at one time I was considering it.

Don't forget that without the "Mr. Fusion" option, you'll need a lot of plutonium, too!

Actually to me the new DeLorean looks like a cross between a Triumph TR-7 and an Astrovan.

"hi, I'm looking for a Delorean"
"yea we got lots of new ones coming in"
"08?"
"no, they are actually 20s"
"???"
"yea, they just arrived, right out of the power plant from the future"
"oh cool, so hows the gas milage?"
"yea, it depends on your package, if your looking at the sports, its 20, touring is 100 and grand touring, which is loaded is 0"
"why is it 0?"
"yea, thats because we got it to run on ****"
"wha?!?!?"
"yea, apparently, theres this little hole right here, you throw **** into it and it automatically becomes fuel, organic stuff actually works best, so it helps if u have a fat wife"
*wife looks at salesman*
"I see, so whats the diff between the packages?"
"well, for the sports model, its basically the lightest model since its a stripped down version of the car, topspeed is actually 140mph but at 88mph, you get an *exclusive* flashbang effect from your car, which is totally safe cus nothing actually happens, those starts at 30k

the touring models are basically the sports model equipped with a flux capacitor so you can travel through time, we don't normally sell alot of them because our customers say they end up in pools and other hazardous environment once the flux capacitor engages, those are 40k"

so what about the grand tourings?

I'm tired, ill finish this crap up later
