   I think you may be on to something here.

   I just love the looks of the TR4, especially when it is a TR5 or TR250!
However, the MGB certainly is more curvaceous; more Pininfarina-like.
I mean, which car did Mazda copy? Not the 'brick'.  :-)  (Actually, they
copied the Lotus Elan but they copied the spirit of the MGB.)
   As for whether this list prefers the MGB over the TR4, Duh!  That's
like going over to the Ferrari list and expounding the virtues of a new
Carrera 4!  (Read: ...just put your neck in the noose.)
