opinion. Also, this is a subject that I don't recall being covered
before in this forum...

It's fairly obvious that the TR7's styling was years ahead of its
time. Taken a look at a Honda Prelude or [insert name of just about
any "sporty" rice-burner here] lately? Don't get me wrong, I own 2
Japanese vehicles myself, but I don't think the TR7 gets enough credit
for its cutting edge styling. Sure, there were other cars before it
that used a similar shape, but it was the first "doorstop" for the
masses. The shape of the TR7 didn't do it in, poor quality and a
less-than-optimal choice for a powerplant did.
Don't take it personally, I've always had a soft spot for the TR7. It
was probably the second British car I fell in love with, after the
E-type. Whilst looking for a sports car to buy, I ran across a TR7
Spyder that I sometimes wish I'd bought instead of the Alpine.
