Re: [DML] Can we ALL come to a correct definition of these DeLorean terms?

["Dave Swingle" <swingle@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Fiat X 1/9 considered an "engineering mule" rather than a 
prototype. It was a production car, with it's own real VIN, that they 
modified as a proof of concept.  Companies do this all the time.  It 
has absolutely no design elements of the DMC other than the fact that 
the engine was in the back, which it already was on the X1/9 anyway. It 
was an X 1/9 with an engine swap. 

Putting a Northstar engine in a DeLorean doesn't make it a Cadillac 
either.
