Interesting to read, and I find it laughable, that so many try to compare the DeLorean to whatever automobile they own. They compare Atari to IBM, Mercedes to Chevy, etc., etc. I'm still waiting for the Gremlin & Pacer Club of America (if there is such a club) to start their analysis and comparison of the DeLorean. Recently a well dressed woman in her new Jag XK-8 convertible gave me and the DeLorean a great compliment. When I explained the features and amenities, we eventually stated discussing the price of the DeLorean. She gave the DeLorean such an astute analysis..."I cannot believe that this car is a 1981. The car (DMC) was 10 years ahead of the market...this is the car that the Japanese car companies eventually developed into such markets as Acura & Lexus." A DeLorean and a Thunderbird/Couger comparison is like comparing champagne to lemonade. Sincerely, Mike Pack DOA 4743 VIN 3713
