Welcome
MartyMcFly,
Welcome to the network. I am not sure if you have been welcome yet. I like the nick. Kind of fit the SVX in some ways. If you have any comments or questions, let us know. Lwin

There was also a Delorean owner with the vanity plate "McFLY" -- was he the one who was going to find an SVX?
At any rate, welcome "Marty." We're happy you're here.

I know, I know, I have a mid-engined plastic car out the back myself, and I also know any DeLorean owners I ever met were the best types you could meet, but if you must compare the SVX, stick to a proper coupe with ability like the Renault Alpine A610 or a Maserati 3500 or something couth. No offense to Delorean owners. Somebody has to like them! Joe

It *was* interesting to see similarities in the interior layouts and how the SVX interior was something of a refinement of some of the nuances of the DeLorean.

He designed the Fiat Panda, a car that makes wheelbarrows look elegant. He designed the Lexus Toyota GS 300 [you probably have another name for it] a car with stacks of ability and the grace and balance and charm of an Aard Vark. I could go on, but God knows who I would be offending. It is interesting to follow design themes through a series or a range of cars from a styling house all right. However, the SVX is a study in bulbous and purposeful elegance. The DeLorean looks like it was designed by a welder in a scrap yard using flat panels for inspiration. Not my cup of tea. Just for the record: my all-time favourite body shape [on wheels!!] is the Pininfarina designed Ferrari 250 Lusso 1963. Anyone care to raise my bet? Joe Ron? You out there?

I kinda like the Delorean body style, but, I'm a wedgy kinda guy. I still want a TR8 (almost bought one after my Spitfire went bye-bye) to add to my stable, but, need my second SVX first.

Now, I can't wait 'til the 2004 Model when design finally gets to sand the front of the Aztec as well as the rear and we end up with something that looks like it should.

The other day, I was at local Boders and reading through a book on concept cars. There was a huge section for our friend GG. I saw a car he did for Lotus called E____ something or the other. Initially, I thought it was the SVX prototype. 1/2 windows and all. You should check it out.
