The only true sportcar is the TVR...
I vote TVR because I just love it, nothing can beat the mighty 440bhp/ton T440R for raw thrill of driving

TVR-real sports car. The rest are not real driver's cars.

As far as looks go I'd go with the Aston. But being that I am a purist
at heart I have to choose the TVR, now if they could only bring a little
logic and order to those interesting body curves it would be almost
perfect, of course I know that aerodynamics is what drives the styling
of this car and not looks. Of course I'd take any of them if they where
handed to me on a silver platter.

Of those the Tuscan is the besy buy. Reasonable price, superb everything else. The only thing holding is back is that paint, not that is bothers me.

Oh wait is that XKR-R cheaper and faster? I bet it is competition?

"Smell" more like an exotic than the other ones because of is exclusivity in design and interiors.

Aston Martin Vanquish is the best of everything that Britain can offer, not just in speed but in looks and status and quality.

Why is the Jaguar XKR-R even included? It's just a one-off testbed.

My vote goes for the Aston. I just love all the Astons. I feel like the Aston isn't really a true sports car though. As for a true British sports car, I must say it's definitely a Noble M12 GTO. It's such a beast.

I think the vanquish looks the best by far...I would probably take the vanquish because I have heard things about TVR's not being that reliable...thats really the only reason I would have trouble buying a TVR other than that they look great in pictures and look great on paper...but they aren't even road legal in the U.S. so thats a problem
