TVR looks okay.. too curvy and too bold.
This is just another iconic British brand to be either sold to a foreign party or moved overseas. The main reasons for the decision is the falling demand for TVR cars, largely blamed on poor reliability issues, and rising costs. Production is said to have bottomed out at just two cars per week.
Production of the Tuscan, Tuscan Convertible and Sagaris sports cars will be outsourced to several European manufacturers, while responsibility of the 4.0L in-line six-cylinder engine and gearbox will remain with a UK supplier.

TVR's are expensive and unreliable. Like the 1997 1998 DB7 Vantage Volante that had problems of heating, AC breaking down, etc.. TVR's have problems like those even today.
Aston Martin however has surpased everyone's expectations amd have improved their quality drastically.
