""A lot of cars have been called "singular" over the years, but the DeLorean DMC-12 is one example of the description fitting perfectly well. DeLoreans have cropped up in plenty of pop culture places over the decades, from beloved blockbuster films to indie rock videos. More recently, several efforts have been made to revive the name and aesthetic - though, as with most things DeLorean-related, that hasn't been without some controversy.""
""It feels very GM to me, but that's probably [John] DeLorean's background," Gage observed. (DeLorean spent over a decade working at GM.) "It is still enjoyable to drive," Gage said, who also pointed out the lack of "clunking and clanking" while sitting behind the steering wheel. That might help explain another part of why DeLoreans still have a following: they remain much more pleasant to drive than most of their contemporaries.""
DeLorean DMC-12 cars have a singular design and frequent pop culture appearances, from blockbuster films to indie rock videos. Recent attempts to revive the name and aesthetic have generated controversy. A Florida museum houses a DMC-12 with just 187 miles on its odometer. A recent test drive praised the interior comfort and dashboard design, noting a GM-like feel that may reflect John DeLorean's GM background. The car was described as enjoyable to drive, notably lacking clunking and clanking common in contemporaries. Low-mile DMC-12s appear occasionally for sale, including a 1982 example with 3,900 miles located in Bellevue, WA.
