DeLorean is considered as CRAP CARS!!!! WTH!! - Outatime - 22 Jan 2007
Went to Halfords today and had a look at the calendars of cars. There's one that has a theme of CRAP CARS.
I just couldn't believe they have picked DeLorean as one of the 12 crap cars!!!!! :evil: :evil: :evil:

Here's their explaination on the calendar (March):
Slippery conman John DeLorean always aimed to build something a bit flash. "I want people's eyes to light up when they walk through the showroom", he said, and to do this he gave his ill-fated sports car 'gullwing' dorrs that, if both were open, gave the impression of a bird in flight, and also body panels in unpainted stainless steel. Unfortunately, it turned out to be underpowered, badly-built, unexcitingto drive and - in the face of suddenly spiralling oil prices - very expensive at $25,000. Not only that but the stainless steel panels showed every speck of dust and even fingerprints, while the gullwing doors dripped rainwater on you when they were opened. And to think: all it needed to create this horror was 77 million pounds of British taxpayers' dosh...
I mean.... if the writer thinks 25000 USD is very expensive for a sports car like the DeLorean, and thinks that all other type of doors won't let rain water into the car when opened... He is probably still in kindergarden counting fingers! :twisted:

So basically what your all saying is that there shouldn't be any cars in there?
- tracey steele - 31 Jan 2007
ummm i don`t think any cars are crap even if i don`t like them,as long as they get you from a to b it does`nt really matter what people think about the Delorean, it`s our taste in cars what matters 8)
