Should someone restart this company and come out with a complete redesign?

Wasnt it the most unreliable car that GMC had made?.

DeLorean Motor Company

Ahh , but still part of GMC tho?

Yes, it would be great if the DeLorean was revived but it will probably never happen. Cars with large American V8 motors in them are not exactly 'trendy' these days - hence the demise of Jensen - most people seem to be obseesed with fuel economy at the expense of everything else ! The DeLorean design was basically sound - a combination of a big, powerfull engine in a sleek low body is obviously a good start towards a car which handles and performs well - but it needed more testing and development before it hit the market. Thebody design was very intelligent: brushed stainless steel panels, bolted on, so minor damage was just a spanner-job. The gull-wing doors were excellent too and not just a faddy, 'look-at-me' feature. You won't find many on the road in Britain as they didn't get type-approval over here, but there are a couple around. They do need frequent maintenance, thanks to the weak spots left by their lack of development, but are well worth the driving experience. If I could find one at a reasonable price and road-legal I'd buy it.

I don't think GMC has anything to do with it, I don't think it's even a car company.
