The whole reason it was used in the original was that it was already a massive joke of a car.

Looks ok but runs like shit, the gull wing doors broke all the time and leaked like a sive.

It's use in BTTF actually saved its reputation and gave it a place in people's heart's it never had before.

That was why I made the comparison. Shit car that needs a movie to make it relevant and slightly cool.
