Because lets be honest, you're going to do a lot more turns than straight road driving in any car. And if something feels nice to 30-80, you wont notice the 120+ until highways, and then 150 is fine, rarely do 160 unless you race, which most average cars can't do. So it's the happy line of general consumers and not breaking down.

I don't think the TVR looks really good. It has some nice features (I always liked the lights on TVRs - very British). However the overall shape with these strange waves and weird back look girlish to me. The Wiesman isn't my favorite design, either, but it has a classic roadster line. It looks better when it's open, which is probably how you should ride a convertible anyway. Also, I didn't know TVR is Russian now. So did they go bancrupt in the meantime? I haven't heard about TVR for a while.

There's just something about them and it has nothing to do with the "thrill" or the "danger". I suppose it's because they are so crude, because they lack any sort of driver aids and the fact they're made of fiber glass. Much like a Lamborghini or a Viper or a muscle car of some sort, TVRs just have so much personality.

@warikplaya Price of ownership. A TVR is cheap to buy but very expensive to run. (Wiesmann has the advantage of using BMW engines. BMW probably spent more money on developing that engine than TVR did on the whole car) TVRs also have a low resale value because they are so unreliable and expensive to run. I can find several TVR Tuscans from 2000/2001 with 30-50000km on the clock for about 22.000euro. The cheapest MF3 I can find is the same age but with 90.000 on the clock. It's 56.000Euro.
