DMC's website, is is Houston up to now?

[Riley88]

https://www.delorean.com/password anyone see this? Is it just a website revamp? I am extremely curious.

[louielouie2000]

I just received some parts from DMC-Texas the other day. In the box was a pamphlet previewing a “full catalogue coming soon.” I’m guessing they are rolling out a new online store to match the design of the upcoming catalogue. Which judging by the pamphlet, looks to be quite attractive.

[Timeless]

Yes, revamp in progress and I received the same brochure. Exciting things to come!

Not to read into it too much... but that isn't a DeLorean under that sheet....

That was their latest "teaser" for the masses that actually think they will build a new DeLorean.

Let's not get into the fact that the law states that any new build must look like the original car. This way they work everyone up into a tiz...not the everyone that would actually buy said new build, just the people who in turn tell me about it at every freaking gas stop and successful parking lot stakling.

Be patient people.

Check out the site now. I'm trying not to get my hopes up but I CAN'T HELP MYSELF. Hoping it's not a re-bodied Saturn Sky again...

[Riley88]

so someone posted a link to the updated website on Reddit and i replied:

- ME: Dmc doesn't have the money to make a new car. Let alone the money to make quite a few parts that require die's like panels. They are revamping the online store. The law they were waiting to pass for small vehicle companies wouldn't let them make a new car anyway

Interesting how this will play out.

They may not have the money to make a new car, but they can certainly put their name on someone else's car.

Thanks, I dribbled coffee on my nice work shirt. :hysterical:

Apparently the new delorean is going to be made in San Antonio.

Not made in Ireland? Literally undriveable.

OMG has it been 2 years already. The only consistent pattern here isn't engineering or building new cars, it's social-engineering media into providing free brand building coverage.

While I agree that DMC deserves some chiding over the number of attempts at a new car, when you know a little bit of the behind-the-scenes efforts that have been put into them, (that are not my place to share), only to have those efforts go to waste due to various reasons (one recent example is the 5-year NHTSA delay in issuing rules), then you tend to give them a little more slack.

I think setting up a different company for the project and hiring executive staff is a pretty elaborate attempt just to social-engineer media in my opinion. I for one am looking forward to the future details of this announcement.

[JRNY13]

Just saw a spot on Fox News about this. One of the hosts said, "How can I take it anywhere? It's got such a long wingspan."

At least they acknowledged it exists.

It is, and you don't have to be cynical to have that opinion. It is the standard playbook for any new product these days, especially from tech companies whether the product is real or imagined. I would be surprised if this hadn't been done.

[Michael]

I bet there already is a product which is most likely a refreshed and rebadged existing product.

I don't know if it's been mentioned on talk or other places that I have been reading but the rumor that carries the most water is the Vietnam based VinFast seems to be the company that acquired the "DeLorean Reimagined" name and by the look of their logo is an exact match to the "V" we are seeing hints of.

VinFast is a fairly young company but they have a few vehicles in production and they are solvent. They also have the backing of some heavy hitters in their corner.

https://www.edmunds.com/vinfast/

I could very well see Vinfast becoming the next Kia here. They have already confirmed coming to the US this year with 2 small SUV electrics.

Maybe the DeLorean brand just them buying cheap advertising or maybe they have a sports car on the back burner and with all the excitement it generates, could be a reality in the future.

I still stand by my original statement. DMCH never will make a new car and now it looks like they never will. They just sold the branding to people that can and on the surface, looks like they will.

Can't wait for a whole new feature to DeLorean ownership and encounters with the public...

Me: I love my car
Public: What is it?
Me: A DeLorean
Public: Oh? Really... what made you get one of those?
Me: No, no. A DeLorean DMC-12, from 1981
Public:
Me: The car from Back to the Future, the time machine, John DeLorean
Public: I think I'd have picked the Mach E over that, pity they called in a Mustang though
