Not sure about the Aptera but the DeLorean was NOT a great car.
It handle like a sack of flour (not a good starting point for what was intended to be a sports car after all) , had build quality to match and some truly appalling design executions.
The "Gullwing "doors might have been a "sales point" but having them leak like waterfall ever time it rained was not.
Let's face it - Mercedes Benz sorted this out on their "Gullwing" in the 1950's! AND they didn't take some twenty seconds to open and close either.
Think the worst of British Leyland and go a few steps backward from there.
Even the millions the British Government poured into it didn't save what was bound to be a fiasco from the start.
Sorry but the car WAS a DOG and no amount of gazing through rose coloured glasses will alter that.
