    TVR Tuscon,.....only for the very brave

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32u6KPTALxg

    Doug DeMuro takes a look at the TVR Tuscon, which has some of the strangest features on any sports car ever.

      TVRs are hilarious. Didn't Clarkson have a similar experience while testing the Sagaris?

    Re: TVR Tuscon,.....only for the very brave

    My dear friend owns one. The car is just trouble. Hard to drive and never reliable. Whenever we are going for a weekend trip with some friends, he is the one which ends the tour on a AAA trailer.

    Re: TVR Tuscon,.....only for the very brave

    Nice funny review, but I'm not sure if he has realised that the vast majority of the UK is in the western hemisphere too so his comments about it being one of only Tuscans in the western hemisphere is somewhat wrong!

    He never promised precise geography, but he did make it to Canada. For someone from Philly that is amazing in itself.

    That review reminded me why I don't drive or own Triumphs or MGs anymore.
