Autonomous DeLorean drives sideways to move forward

In the US, a new DeLorean isn't all that expensive compared to typical "jelly-bean" vehicles that are the most common. Back in 2005, I narrowed down a vehicle purchase decision to a new DeLorean, an used Lotus Elise or a new G coupe. I went with a bone-stock manual G that I kept for a few years before I got into Cold War-era West German and French vehicles. I'm not a rich person, far from it.

the worst part of the 2009 crisis is that the the European used car market is shot

I got a 3 year old gt in 2007 and with that money today I could barely get a panda.

Sort of. Someone bought the leftover parts from the original factory, and brought back the company name, selling completely refurbished ones. They've been trying to sell completely new ones as a low-volume automaker, but haven't successfully navigated the bureaucracy on that so far.
