Maybe they could launch a new TR7 with a BMW engine. As their handling of the MINI brand shows they know how to make retro cars very well.]]>Jan 24th 2008 10:39AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/triumph-comes-to-the-sho-doing-a-heart-transplant-on-a-tr7/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/triumph-comes-to-the-sho-doing-a-heart-transplant-on-a-tr7/Jan 24th 2008 12:13PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/triumph-comes-to-the-sho-doing-a-heart-transplant-on-a-tr7/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/triumph-comes-to-the-sho-doing-a-heart-transplant-on-a-tr7/Jan 24th 2008 12:03PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/triumph-comes-to-the-sho-doing-a-heart-transplant-on-a-tr7/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/triumph-comes-to-the-sho-doing-a-heart-transplant-on-a-tr7/
Some cars (Lancia Stratos, Porsche 928, even the Fiat/Bertone X1/9) captured the 70s Zeitgeist so well.

Others... well... others just did not. The TR7 was one of those many. I was there, I remember it well.

Could have not said it better myself!]]>Jan 24th 2008 12:46PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/triumph-comes-to-the-sho-doing-a-heart-transplant-on-a-tr7/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/01/24/triumph-comes-to-the-sho-doing-a-heart-transplant-on-a-tr7/As for BMW reviving the brand, maybe they could use a similar approach as the Crossfire, with better execution. Just use previous gen roadster underpinnings and price the vehicle right. ]]>Jan 24th 2008 12:58PM
