Subject: Re: Bricklin
bricklins basically look like early 90's nissan 300zx cars with armor.
they're not as unique as deloreans, but are cheaper to repair and service
because i believe they were made with the same parts as some american
cars.
they're neat, but deloreans are cooler.

Subject: DeLorean/VW Corrado Similarities
Hi list,
I thought this link may interest some of you. It's a Volkswagen Corrado
European sports car.
Look at the photos - interior and exterior - you can see lots of
similarities between this car and our beloved DeLorean.
Many people talk of the huge Giugiaro influence at VW. The Audi Quattro
from
the 80s was another car from him that resembled the DeLorean after
DeLorean
was out of business (esp. the front of the car).
The latest Volkswagen Giugiaro product now is the Corrado.
Maybe this would have been the DeLorean of the 90s? With gullwing doors of
course! Personally I think the Corrado resembles the Medusa, which
DeLorean
had planned to be his 4-door DeLorean.
I will not start a new thread here ("DeLorean compared to other makes")
but
I would like it if you will e-mail me privately on what you think of the
DeLorean/Corrado similarities. I may use your comments on a webpage Im
building where I compare the DeLorean to the Corrado.

Best wishes

It turns out there are plenty of 18 and under delorean drivers, hmm, I
wonder where the old original owners are lurking.

Subject: DeLorean/Bricklin differences and "D" warranty
Both cars have their pros and cons (I own one of each for almost 20
years now). The DeLorean has the benefit of a lot more design time,
building
expertise, and money supporting the initial venture. Both have some
extremely POOR inherent design flaws...DeLorean and Bricklin onwers
already
know what I'm talking about. I bought my DeLorean car NEW, and the
dealership refused ALL warranty work on my DeLorean...and this was before
the financial/coke problems even surfaced! They told me they were 'burnt'
by the $25K set-up fee for the license to sell the DMC cars...at least
this
is the story I was told as to why all DeLorean warranty work was for
customer payment only...you were responsible to go after DMC to recoup
your
out of pocket expenses. I believe some dealers were more 'proactive' to
their customers, but mine never was from day one that I bought my DMC.
The
benefit of NOT having the dealer pay for my repairs or recalls and other
serious problems was that I had to pay him (dealer) for that service. I
was
one of the five protected creditors that obtained ALL of my warranty work
dollars back (after 15+ years) from the receivership and have a lot of
court
documents from the years. Everyone else received 9%...including the
British
government! I figure I came out ahead, I named ALL the DMC
companies...apparently only 4 others did the same according to my
paperwork...plus I enjoyed all the documentation and now I'm one of the
lucky five! I'm not planning to dispose of either car, both are unique
and
different from the other.
