I heard TVR might be coming to USA eventually.
And USA means Canada too probably.

Not for a few years at least, Smolenski plans on making TVR a more global brand but the cost's at the moment are too high right now.

Very true quote, I couldn't agree more. On the other hand I hope TVR stays relatively unknown and somewhat secrative yet remains capable of obliterating other cars out of the water. It's so much more prestigious that way.
...........Something clever

They ARE in North America... Discontinued in the US around 1986 because of Emission and crash laws. Last TVR to come to North America was a 1996 Griffith 500. I drove a 1994 Griffith 430 from Toronto to New Jersey for the Woodwork (TVR) show - there were about 30-40 TVR's ranging from the early 60's to 90's.
You can still find older models around and in Auto Trader. There's actually a Dealer in Toronto with some used TVR's and tons of parts. If anyone's interested, I can post their contact info.

GT is nowhere close to what real life is.

1 - Gran Turismo, as has alread been said, is not real life, it is not the most realistic driving/racing game out there and the way cars delier power and the transitions between grip levels are way off the mark. Acceleration figures and gear rations for certain cars are also way off the mark, for example the Speed 12 in GT4 isn't geared to go that much over 200mph standard. The real one is geared to go over 240mph. Go figure. GT4 is not that accurate. The Speed 12's power figures are wrong as well, the real car has 880bhp running smooth cams and around 960bhp with the others. After an oil change in GT4, the power peaks at 850bhp.
2 - Even in GT4 the Speed 12 is the fastest [i]real[/i] road car stock for stock, in the game, capable of lapping the Nordschliefe in under 7 mins.
3 - TVR's don't look the same, how you can say a Sagaris looks like a Tuscan and a Tuscan looks like a Tamora is beyond belief. I can excuse people when they say that about Aston Martins, even though I can spiot clear differences easy enough, but TVR's, come on.
4 - They are user friendly, if your intentions are to have a fun car that will slaughter a track. They have no traction control so driving them in the wet is a handful, but thats about it. They're no less userfriendly in every other way than a Porsche 911.
Your post = FAIL.
