The doors are iconic. Honestly I think they're about the last thing you could drop if you want to invoke "DeLorean". Of course, the steel would not be far behind that, and yet...
The most interesting thing about the DeLorean is the story behind its creator and creation[3], not any particular aspect of the design of the final production vehicle.

I think most of what we could say to that would be anecdotal on both sides. So I guess, this is just my anecdotal perspective?
Totally not trying to say that those other things are not interesting, btw.
