Why is it that EVERY prototype or new car that adorns these hallowed pages gets compared to one TVR or another?

TVR do not have a trademark on lights/knobs/wheels/bonnets/rears etc.etc.etc. so STOP SAYING THAT IT JUST LOOKS LIKE A TUSCAN/TAMORA/CERBIE/SAGARIS/GRIFFITH/T30/T400/TW4T IT's DRIVING ME MAAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!!!!

Not aimed at you directly Schnozz but just have a look at previous threads with pretty much any new car you care to mention. I bet there's at least 1 post saying 'the front end looks like a Tuscan'

It is common, there was a rageing thread over some fiat or other that supposedly looked like a tuscan a while back - the resembelence was in the number of wheels i think

Given the fairly wide range of different styles TVR has put out, and the lack of any real "family" looks....it's not surprising there's a TVR that looks like it somewhere....you'd be as well saying "that has the front end of a car"

And many TVR's that look like other cars - Lotus Esprit and The Wedges spring to mind - probably cause they were designed by the same hand (or ruler anyway) IIRC

Don't you mean, that there are TVRs that look like a number of other cars?

Unsurprising as they are generally made from bit of other cars!

Before all the TVR partisans get all huffy, I have had 3 of them and loved every one!
