I dunno, I kind of always liked them.
This is the only one I seen customized to a great extent.

I've always heard heavy, slow, and overpriced..but i never looked into it

At least they look cool, err, sometimes.

What?? Hello....the most customized car of ALL TIME

Lol, how did I know someone was going to bring that one into the post^

Yea, they are heavy, slow and overpriced. Sports car? NO. Economy car? Yes. Just like the Civic.

What did they do to that poor car? Who paints a Delorean for cripes sake?? Heathens!!

Not economy cars, they have a pretty potent V6. They'll go like hell too... Kid i know has one, his dad basically gave it to him. Gorgeous car.

and they are good for following the white lines

John DeLorean ain't done yet. He has a new car he'* trying to release. He'* even selling watches. No joke. WATCHES to fund it.

His daughter, BTW hates the cars, even though Daddy gave her one before he went to prison on drug charges.

There'* still a huge aftermarket for these things.

What would you classify them as? A coupe that is greatly underpowerd for that style? Definately not a roadster.
