What's the similarity between a DeLorean and an R-22 helicopter?
« on: August 21, 2022, 02:26:28 PM »
Both the Dunmurry-built DeLorean DMC-12 coupé and the popular Robinson R-22 helicopter have their original target sales price in the designation ( in thousands of US dollars ).

Neither achieved their target price, though!

 DeLorean of course never needed a successor designation whilst Robinson cleverly turned their misnomer into a brand motif ( 22 / 44 / 66 ).

DeLorean has just announced a sucessor. The Alpha 5 (Ayi yi yi - Wasn't that the name of the Power Rangers robot?)
