Re: TVR - the US gets screwed

Once again the U.S. gets screwed.  TVR's are incredibly cheap considering
the kind of performance you get, the Cerbera is incredibly fast, it will
blow a Viper into the weeds, and the handling makes the Viper look like a
truck.  There are so many cars Europe gets that unfortunately the U.S. does
not, Lotus Elise, Lancia (the Intergralie, oh what a car), Fiat, Alfa Romeo

Simon,
Regarding the Lotus Elise.
Saw and photographed one at the Lime Rock vintage race on Labor Day
weekend.
The car was red with manufacturer license plates on it.
Spectator comments were similar to the Boston Green M-Coupe that I saw on
Sunday 10/4.
Some people loved it, some hated it, the remaining had no opinion.

I assumed that it was going to eventually get imported.
As anyone heard otherwise ?
