TVR is revived, ruins Sagaris ...well, I exaggerate.
Vauxhall Astra Wheels...
Exhaust pipe assembly fixed, no longer points out to the sides. (sad, it was one of Sagaris' quirks)
They've ruined the interior!!! You never ruin the TVR interior even if it's impossible to use! Now it's just ugly.
They say this is a prototype, but it's apparently ready for production in both RHD and LHD. And they've ditched the plans for selling cars in the US and go to Middle East instead, like many car manufacturers are doing.

Well, the middle east is the new USA - buckets of disposable income, cheap gas, lot so fopen roads, few rules regarding car construction outside of bumpers and turn signals having to be red instead or orange

Great! Now let's hope the new cars are a bit more reliable. I've always been a big fan of their pure, raw straight 6's, but they haven't been known for their reliability...

The Sagaris is one of my favourite cars. Simply because it looks mean and is down right raw. Must own this car one day.

I really hope they will revive TVR, I love this manufacturer. Too bad reliability was poor.

Well, sad day that the exhaust pipes aren't directed out to the sides. 
But, Happy day that TVR is back.

Sorry for my ignorance guys, but whose ownership are they under presently?
Have to say i love the car as is, the exhausts look like big guns from the side, and i like the ridiculously oversized wheels. I have to agree with Heil on the interior, it's a bit too simplistic and neat...although the centre console gives it a certain 'futuristic/spaceship ish' perhaps look.
I think the best part of this car is the back...kind of looks like a renegade robot announcing 'this is a hold up'
