I had caught a sniff of this but nothing for certain. Beautiful cars are all about flowing lines hinting at speed and power. The DeLorean is not the most beautiful car in the world. I put it into the same bracket as the AM Lagonda and likes. And I love it all the more for that. But the original intention was to build a performance car. Aerodynamics, power, speed, fluidity. I am certain Giugiaro's priority would have been the above... Then maybe the doors. ****** Sent from my Blackberry ________________________________ From: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wed Feb 02 18:00:29 2011 Subject: Re: [DML] Get rid of the wings In a message dated 2/2/2011 7:57:26 A.M.

With the trials and tribulations of a untrained staff assembling the cars, didn't it come up quite a few times to get rid of the doors, and JZD said No. Am I wrong?
