BMW Z4 on the cover. Trying WAY too hard, and more on topic, nestled away on page 108 and 109 is a nice write up on the Tamora, with the disappointing comment that the US won't be seeing it even if TVR does return....

Hmm

But compare the Z4 and the Tamora, and I believe the winner comes from Blackpool in looks and performance.....

Just passing it along.....

Hey, what did they say about the Tuscan?

I'd be happy with a Tuscan as a first TVR to return to the USA.

I wish TVR would accept orders for cars to the USA. They could underwrite the cost just be taking orders with a committment to have the cars in our hands in 2 years. The $10,000 deposit that they would take off of me would be used to make the EPA and NHTSA happy and lay the foundation for a USA parts center. 1,000 deposits equals $10 million!

I was looking for Automobile on the stands and all I saw was the July issue.

Is the August issue worth it--even for diehard USA TVR fans looking for the faintest glimmer of hope?

The article seemed to leave faint hope for the Tuscan, though...
It really is too bad that TVR hasn't capitalized on the opportunity to do commerce here in the USA. :frown:
All the same, it is great to know that there is interest in the USA auto mags about what is going on elsewhere--especially with TVR's!
