There has been much talk of whether TVR is coming to the US or not, and how many people would actually buy the cars. It's all speculation at this point, but I would like to take a survey that is a bit more concrete than the guesses being tossed around at the moment.
Of course, I will post the results on Pistonheads as well as my website, www.tvrfreak.com. Who knows, it might help TVR see the value of entering the US market...
Please answer only if you live in the US (or will be living here in a year's time), please be honest, respond only once for each car you intend to buy, and please, please follow the instructions about the address and the subject line, or your vote of support might be missed!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Send an email to TVRsurvey1@tvrfreak.com and cut and paste the appropriate line below into the subject line.
I would definitely buy a one-off or very limited production car at $120,000 - $150,000 (such as the Tuscan R)
I would definitely buy a TVR at $85,000 - $90,000 if it had the presence (looks and performance) of the current cars.
I would definitely buy a TVR at $45,000 - $50,000 if it had the presence (looks and performance) of the current cars.
I would definitely buy a TVR at $30,000 - $35,000 if it had the presence (looks and performance) of the current cars.
Please choose the HIGHEST price you are able/willing to pay, realizing that, in most instances, you get what you pay for (although TVRs give a HUGE bang for the buck in the performance department) and keeping your current expenditures on cars in mind.
If you would definitely buy the car, in the body of the message, please indicate which features are especially important to you:
Car is a convertible, targa
Car has a large trunk
Car is a two-seater
Car is a 2+2 -- two small, (barely useable by adults, ok for kids) seats in the rear
Anything else you'd like...
This will help show what's important at what price point.

If you love the cars but are not in a position to buy, or if you are not going to buy a car as soon as it is launched, please send an email to TVREnthusiast@tvrfreak.com
This will be used to keep you informed of any upcoming events such as shows and races.
In the body of the message, please indicate which state and city you are in.
Thanks very much, and I look forward to sharing the results with you!
