[rescue] Deloreans...

We are talkin The DeLorean Right? Not some kit car thing

Remembering far back into the past, when I used to turn 
wrenches on them, I don't believe Buick ever made a frame
like the Delorean's. IIRC. Used a wishbone frame with the
engine nestled in the rear. The engine was actually a 2.85 
liter (Renault descent) aluminium block with wet cylinder linings.
Not exactly a testament to reliability.

Now I suppose that could be replace with any V6 with similar
dimensions. But it didn't come that way. 

Although I agree with you that it is indeed 'mediocre' but I might
use the term 'lost opportunity'.

But I don't want to stray too far off topic.
