Reply to "UPDATEDeTomaso- to go on the block"

Here's a couple of interesting quotes from Mike Drew on this subject:

quote:
The De Tomaso logo and name would only have value to a very small
(microscopic) element of society; even within automotive circles, the marque name isn't
particularly respected, thanks in no small part to the Machiavellian actions of
De Tomaso over the years.

Given that the company hasn't produced anything of any real significance for
more than 20 years, it's virtually a 'dead' marque.

quote:
ask anybody in the USA if they've ever heard of a De Tomaso and
you'll get a blank stare from most people. A few people will twig to the idea
of a Pantera, but the De Tomaso name means almost nothing here in the USA.
The name is much better known, and unfortunately almost universally derided in
Europe. I'm not saying it's right, but that's just the way it is.
