DMCH Making new vehicles

[DannonWeb]

Perhaps they're thinking the new line will go the way the Ford GT went upon its re-introduction in 2005. It sold then for $110-140k and has only climbed every year since. You'd have to spend $250-300k to get one of those now. But who knows!

I wonder what John DeLorean would say....

^this.

We may never see any new DeLoreans (or care), but we certainly are already seeing lots of new neighbourhood idiots taking notice of what you're up to in the garage. For a car that is already hard enough to enjoy because you can't seem to ever be left alone, this recent publicity just kacked it up even worse.

EDIT: Oh, and when the driving season does start again in the Spring, imagine how many times you are going to get the "is this one of the new ones?" ice breaker question. I'll bet this will finally overtake the "where's the flux capacitor? question for most commonly asked. Better edit my CAR SHOW BINGO card...

The number one first question I get is some mouth breather asking what I paid for it, without even introducing themselves. 75% of the time this is followed up with them knocking on the stainless, or trying to open the doors.

I'm going to give it one more year, and if this new car bullshit continues, my car will be up for the taking to the first person that brings me $25,000.

His daughter Kathryn has been very active on Facebook expressing his displeasure at this whole fiasco.

Is there a thread somewhere on the history of the new DMC? Did they have to pay anyone anything for the rights to the name?

That's a whole huge debacle where basically own one version of the trademark, and like to talk as if they are an actual continuation of the real DeLorean Motor Cars Limited.

I'm just saying that with the news reports and what not it has been said that the DeLorean is back, not the former company, or any of it's corporate subsidiaries. Just the car. Likewise, I've not seen anyone from DMCH say anything to where they are restarting the old company. They may be restarting a limited production of the vehicle, but that is totally different than what you're saying.
