Most underrated company ever?
I think TVR's are the most underrated cars on the road. They are cheaper, faster and more exotic looking than their competitors which are the 911 Turbo and 360 Modena but they gets no love.
Its a shame

They aren't loved as much in America because they aren't that known. I heard somewhere the the U.S regulations banned TVR in the U.S.A. Don't know why though. But, thats why. Americans don't follow exotic cars that much because we have nascar....yet I hate nascar and I follow more of the european racing.

I think TVR are staging a comeback into the US, they are looking for distributers.
Yes, TVRs are definately loved in the UK!

I don´t like this mark. I prefer Ferrari or Porsche. But it´s an exotic mark.

Wouldn't you rather maintain the cult value of the TVR, then have the mainstream get crazy about them. Look at Ferrari, every rapper and actor has one, they cheapen the great history of Ferrari.

to be honest, i think volvo's are very underrated.. i;ve taken on my friend's 325ci and smoked him on my mom's v70xc w/ no problems, the sound system is amazing, the interior well put together and comfortable

Infinti is pretty under-rated, AUDI is extremely underated, Acura/Honda most people just nudge those cars off as nothing special, but they are really great cars, Mosler. May i add a list of Over-rated?
Lexus (a toyota with a 10 grand or more markup)
Mercedes-Benz
Toyota (all they do is last long)
Chevrolet
GM Trucks
Cadillac

I don't think so...I love TVRs but i've heard that TVR's not bothering to get its cars fit for US cause it costs money...TVRs will definitely have to be redone for entrance to US...

Sometimes they last too long.. Those car hardly even brakedown..  .
About the TVR.. well I only saw one in the UAE an it was the v8 one not sure that it's called something like griff...... something.. It's a great looking car.. but you said not expensive.. well it's very expensive over here.. more than what you will pay for a base model 911 turbo.. Reliability.. I don't have any clue about it but it got to be good I think.
Overall it's a wonderful company.. I think Top Gear onces did a review about TVR company and how they got to where they are right now.

Mitsu isnt the most reliable, look at the 3000GT and the new Eclipse.
