A short conversational YouTube clip from the Service Driving Revolution series (host Chris Collins, guest Christian) discussing two car-news items: the DeLorean Alpha 5 (a gull-wing EV with styling nods to the 1980s DeLorean) and Acura’s shift to electrification (the 2023 Acura Integra described as the brand’s final gasoline car). The speakers note styling details (gull/wing doors, fastback-like rear, multi-spoke wheels, silver color), a reported top speed for the Alpha 5 (155 mph), and the claim that Acura will go all-electric after the 2023 Integra. Tone is informal, nostalgic, and conversational.

Chapters
Did you know that Delorean Motor Company is coming out with a new car called the Alpha 5?
You know. You know that? I did know that. You know how I knew?
I don't.
I was the one that sent you the article.
Oh, that's right. At four in the morning. It was so good.
It was at 4 in the morning.
It was pretty early.
I've been getting up early. But I think it looks incredible.
So it looks super sexy. So the 80s DeLorean I don't think was a sexy car.
This thing at a time.
Yeah.
I mean, Back to the Future.
Yeah. But it really looked like a metal. Like a.
Isn't there a certain thing about that car that kind of reminds you of that time in your life of Back to the future?
100%. That's the nostalgia part.
Moving tons of kilos of blow across the border.
Right. But literally, it looked like a Pontiac Fiero.
Isn't that what he's doing? He's putting blow in the cars and then shooting.
Yeah, that's how it runs.
Yeah.
By the way, blow is slang for cocaine.
Yeah, that's right. So cocaine, huge. With the DeLorean of old. With the new one, it's Molly. But Molly, yeah. Isn't that the drug today now what all the kids are doing these days.
Do you really think that you're the one to give people the news on drugs? The guy that doesn't even drink?
That was a fun.
I was trying to make a joke earlier, you guys, about.
Don't even talk about what I was. What I was ranting about.
It was good though.
Yeah. But I said I feel like something to the effect of I should start doing heroin and you should start drinking.
Just. That's the jump.
Yeah. The me doing heroin and you drinking are the equivalent. But you, you don't drink, so.
No. Every once in a while.
I don't know that you should be giving advice on Molly, but I've never tried Molle or any of that.
So. But at any rate, back to the car. So it is that classic DeLorean door where it's the. I don't remember what they call those, like wing going. Thank you. Something wing door. And it's got a beautiful set of wheels on there. They're like these. I don't know, let's call them like a 20 or 30 spoke looking wheel. Those. The back end is completely encompassed by the brake lights. And this is just like a beautiful silver color. But it's got a. It's got a very. I would say almost like a Ferrari feel to it. And it just looks beautiful. I think this thing is really awesome. It is. Looks like it's coming out as an EV gull wing.
Yeah.
Now I see it. But the top of it is probably my favorite.
You gotta describe that for everybody.
So it's got like the back end. I don't remember if that was called fastback or not. But like I remember old Mustangs used to have a thing where it was like the back window had kind of like little fins in it and it's just really, really sleek. So good luck. Good luck. DeLorean. I really think so. It's the kids.
Would you be a candidate for that? Does it say how much it is?
No. So let me look and see what it is. It might be a little out of my price range.
And. Oh, it goes 155 miles an hour. I see that. So I don't see a price in here, but let's say it's probably six figures would be my guess.
But it's pretty cool. It's a lot of fun. So that's the new news is that DeLorean's releasing a new car. And then here's another really interesting part of news.
Like doing that is that the 2023 Acura Integra is the brand's final gasoline car.
What year?
2023. So the new Integra, everything's electric after that. Everything is electric after that.
Holy cow. We better embrace this electric.
Yeah. It says the nostalgia infused Integra will apparently go down in history.
Is actually what I love about the the Range Rover is the gas mileage.
What are you getting? 5, 6?
I don't know. It's like 150 bucks to fill it up. I know that.
Yeah. I just put gas in my car for the first time the other day.
It was different.
Just don't care about the environment, do you?
No. Like I felt like burn it all down.
That's Christian's.
I was going too far with having an electric car.
I'm like, no, I can't give them Molly and burn it down.
Yeah, let's do it fast. But. But, yeah. So no more. No more gas engines out of the Acura lineup is what it looks like. Man. This is. Things are a changing. The winds have changed. They're in the air.
Thanks so much for watching this clip.
