And Jonmac replied:
Why? One of the Triumphs you guys in the States were never offered was front
wheel drive and extremely successful in the many markets in which it was
offered. It was the 1300 Saloon which opened out to a 1500 - and later
became a Dolomite.

True...although the platform was reengineered to become a RWD car in the
Toledo and, later, the Dolomite.
And I believe that the 1300 enjoyed some limited success in Canada.
Nonetheless, your point is very well taken. I would very much like to see
the Triumph name come back in a RANGE of both sports and "saloon" cars, if it
is
to come back at all.
