hey hold on the car is not just a great car, it is a FANTASTIC car.

yes it needs maintenance, but so do all.

and the engine choice, i know the power would be good but would you 
really want a ferrari or lotus engine which would cost a fortune to 
maintain and rebuild.
i looked at lotus esprits (1980's) but gather you are talking plus 
£5000 uk money just for an engine rebuild.
i'd rather stick to the prv and go to the local shop to buy the 
air/oil/fuel filter etc.
and JZD was just of course developing the twin turbo so had the 
factory continued, who knows what we would of had.

if you drive down the road in a ferarri or a Delorean, which will 
the most people look at? got to be Delorean every time.
