I've heard a while back that TVR got bought out by some Russian guy who plans on bringing TVR to the states. Is this true? If so, what's the latest on this story, and when should we expect to see these in the US?

Don't expect TVR to be sold in the US anytime soon. I would be suprised if the next generation of cars go on sale in the states. Its far more likely that they will build a car that breaks this 500 car cycle first if they even have any intention of entering the US market they won't do it in the next five years at least.
The 340R tips the scale at some 600 kilos. On a track it wouldnÂt make much difference if you were in a Porsche 911 Turbo or the latest Ferrari. Their ass is grass, and the 340R is a lawn mover
The Austin Metro was a horrible car, improving little in its looks through 20-odd years until its production, by then as the Rover 100, ceased in 1997. There was however a time when, bored with the daily grind, the devil himself visited the Austin works and went all Blue Peter on the little hatchback. He decided to eliminate the weight by making it all out of cereal packets and sticky backed plastic. Then he took out the weedy engine and dropped in a 410bhp V6 where the back seats should be. A bit of widening here and some aerodynamic accoutrements there and the 6R4 was born. A flared, snarling demon that the man downstairs is proud to call his own.

On a note about TVR's having to develop lhd cars for the states, they wouldn't have to do much, their current platform can be built lhd or rhd with no alterations to the chssis or re-positioning of any parts not related to where the steering wheel is.

The Sagaris brand new costs �55k but you can get them for �50k, the Cerbera isn't being made anymore but an 8k mile 4.5 Red rose, the highest spec you can get can be found for �45k.
