No offense taken, and not everyone can be expected to like them. I happen to think the bodystyle is awesome, but it's all an individual thing. The cars are very exclusive and unique, especially with the lack of paint (brushed stainless steel, which you clean with kitchen sink cleaner, pretty much) and gullwing doors. Although it's fairly basic now, when the Delorean concept came out in the late 70's, it was at the pinnacle of technology. The car is styled by Giorgio Giugiaro, who also designed some of the most cutting edge cars the world has seen, including the Lotus Esprit. The car uses a suspension tweaked by Lotus, who are pretty well the undisputed masters of suspension. The engine is a very advanced for its day V6 that was a joint effort between Peugeot, Renault, and Volvo. The gullwing doors had their advantages, namely being able to fully open about a foot away from a wall or other car without hitting it. Though often critisized for being unsafe in case of a rollover, the side windows are designed to be easy to kick out in case of a rollover.
In 2003, the car is outdated, slow, and rather basic. The car was strangled by safety regulations in the early 80's that forced the front end of the car to be higher than Mr. Delorean wanted (bumper height regulations), and the engine lost a lot of power because of other regulations. Most people that have stock Deloreans today like a combination of their handling, exclusivity, and unique features. For people that those qualities just aren't enough, there are a couple different companies that specialize in making the Delorean more modern, and restoring it back to the specification that was intended. For example, Delorean Motor Company in Texas offers a modified version of the PRV V6 that puts out about 200 hp (which was closer to what was originally intended), and a lower front suspension to make the car look a bit more sporty. Other people have gone further with wilder customization including paint jobs and engine swaps, such as a Northstar V8 or a Mazda 20B 3-rotor engine.
For most of the Delorean's fans, the car just has a magical presence that makes us like and want the car, then as we drive and own them, we discover even more of their good qualities. These were cars that were intended to be everyday use sportscars, which they can still do quite well. If, like plenty of others, you still just don't "get it", that's alright; we can't expect everyone to like them, and it just makes more to go around for those of us that do like them
