Triumphs, I've discovered, seem to be unknown to the general public. They're
like the first time you saw a Jensen Healey and weren't sure what it was but
you knew it came from overseas and you figured it must be some short run
production prototype car from the MG line(as it couldnt be a Jag or an Austin
or a Triumph) or maybe it was Italian.
How can we expect car critics to be any different even though Triumphs have a
couple of firsts(front disc brakes on a production car, the wedge shape on an
affordable sports car 'if you exclude high priced exotic sports cars'). <==I've
read that stuff somewhere(VTR, posts, ect.)
Anyway, ten times out of ten, a non-enthusiast will peg my TR6 for an MG or
simply be clueless.
To answer your question:Yes, the worlds going to hell in a handbasket and the
critics are leading the way.
