Go ahead, count the errors in this DeLorean review from what seems to be a luxury lifestyle site out of Montreal.

Did we know that D's all came with 2 cylinder engines?

With all that the accuracy level seems to be above 80%.

The photos are decent.

Have fun with it.

That was entertaining.

"Mated to a 5 speed manual transmission, the rear wheel drive vehicle went from 0-60mph in around 10.5 seconds, though it clocked a 0-60mph sprint time in around 6 seconds". - I'm not even sure what this means.

"Dealerships offered the model with an admirable choice of interior add ons including a ski-rack adapter and a luggage rack" - Damn, I missed out on the interior ski-rack.


"the vehicle that looked more like the family station wagon than an exotic racecar". - That's a first.

My parents always said if I didn't have anything nice to say, then not to comment at all.

Pfffft. Sometimes criticism ain't always nice. Are you referring to what the guy wrote or what you would write? But I'd not worry about sparing harsh words for an idiots very bad, patently incorrect review of the DMC-12.

How is it they got the 304 Grade stainless steel correct but not the engine? o_O

I think it's more of a typo without proofreading or practical thinking... 2.85L engine with two cylinders? A cylinder chamber that is roughly 1.4 liters big... To put things into perspective, the Dodge Ram I-6 Cummins Diesel is about 1.116 Liters per chamber.

So called journalist is bad and he should feel bad.

I feel better, I just wrote them an angry letter about how lazy they are that they couldnt even read Wikipedia. I hate such idiots.

Meh, anyone who believes any car from the last 30 years has a 2 cylinder engine (produced in mass quantities on a grand scale) in it needs to be "corrected" by everyone.

Glad we're enjoying the entertainment. I thought it might raise some ire. Thanks for responses - and actions - so far.

As for their comparison of a DMC-12 to a station wagon I wonder what the Bornrich author would think of an Alfa TZ1: Link: Alfa Romeo TZ1 Image (http://www.classicdriver.com/sites/default/files/styles/colorbox/public/import/articlesv2/images/_uk/16630/Alfa_Romeo_TZ1_03pop.jpg?itok=oS8c-KiP)

Exotic racecar or station wagon or.....both? OK, just joking.

Pretty much everything about the article. The grammar & flow were awkward & the content is pretty much all wrong. Seems like the "facts" were all pulled from their asses (or they were just HORRIBLE note-takers). For something that is supposed to be a premier/elitist publication, I would think they would want it written with accuracy in mind.

For something that is supposed to be a premier/elitist publication, .

It strikes me as something a high-schooler (or even middle-schooler) has created to sell advertizing.

There seems to be no end of these site that just regurgitate the original content of mainstream sites, and repost it. I notice it when there is an original DeLoean story (such as the one on DMCCA recently) and the for the next week you will see it reposted on 100 other sites, with the implication that somehow the new site was behind it all, just to attract internet traffic.

That's right!
They removed the heater and AC core and glove box, had a custom floppy door (like the ones you have installed for pets) mounted to connect to the front compartment for it.
