... voted one of the 10 most collectible "Malaise Era" cars:

I made a mental note of these vehicles before clicking the link:
- DeLorean
- Grand National
- "Bandit" Trans Am
- SVO

Called it before I looked at it. Us car guys are so predictable. Pacer and Shelby Charger FTW too. Those totally slipped my mind.

[SoCalDMC12]

I always liked the GN and SVO as well. Came close to getting the Buick, but got the second D instead. I'd also add the 93 Allante to that list.

As I scrolled through the photos I couldn't help but notice how dated the other designs were

Yeah, but it was nice to see good looking grooved hood, at least for me it is my favorite.

I was pleasantly surprised to see they used a shot my friend took of my car (11594, before I got the vanity plates) for the DMC blurb. :)

I was wondering whose car that was once I saw the Ontario plates. :D

Hey Cory, yep, those pics were from a couple weeks after I got the car, and I think they came out pretty good :)

What is the purpose of Jalopnik besides making these lists?

[SoCalDMC12]

Their "Morning Shift" daily column is a kinda nice consolidation of auto industry news, and they cover some esoteric car culture stuff as well.

They cover firey auto crashes too. Usually Ferrari's.

On more time...

Spoiler alert:

They don't talk about the car... it's just eye candy.

Saw this one coming a mile off:

Worst high-performance engine - yeah, we're #2, we're #2 !!!:headbang:

Why it only moves us to tears: John DeLorean's eponymous gullwing GT car deserved better. The Peugeot-Renault-Volvo ZMJ-159 V6 coughed out an anemic 130 horsepower, far less than what was intended for that dazzling Giugiaro shape. No one disputes that the car had other issues, but the pedestrian power level was a massive handicap that did no end of damage to the car's desirability.

can't really argue with that, though I would hardly call it a high-po engine
