That is of course the correct and appropriate response. However, I always thought that the rear view of a TR-4 looked similar to the series IV V Alpines. When just out driving, my neck snaps every time I catch the tail lights of a TR-4 thinking it may be an Alpine...I'm ashamed to admit this.....I must now drink heavily to drown this memory....
