Not for me, things that are 'good' about them 1) the doors, 2) the films.
Forget the "Lotus Chassis" it's a frame based on a design they bought from Lotus but there's more to great chassis than the frame - bear in mind the Lotus was mid-engined, the DMC is rear-engined, that alone is enough to waste all the "Lotus Magic" let alone all the other differences.
The original engine is a Renault V6 which is pretty low-powered, the US DMC been selling the turbo charged version for a while which they say was meant to be a production version before the whole thing came crashing down, I'd guess that's the engine they'll use in the new ones.
The US Deloren company has been about for years, pretty much since the original factory closed, they bought all the stock of the failed company, they reckon there were 2 complete cars in spares for every one ever sold complete and they've been selling complete kits for years for $40k or so, now the US has got thier own version of the SVA they're selling them for $100k.

What's that, the Austin DeLorian?
That was the original concept for the Allegro, but the need to raid the parts bin for certain components made it look like this.
