[DML] Re: DeLoreans almost manufactured in Puerto Rico

["content22207" <brobertson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think Puerto Rico would have been an unmitigated disaster. DMC would
have continued down the ERM rabbit hole, Lotus likely would not have
been brought on board, engine choices would have been North American
(let's be honest -- none of the Big 4 were making performance small
blocks in the 1970's), and we would have ended up with very different
automobiles. The DeLo's we know and love are not perfect, but they
could have been a lot worse.
