Dunno.....We already have the Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Sky...The rear end is identical to the Solstice except for the Spitfire like tailfins and lens.

The pictures can't be from BMW - check out the number plate.
BMW do not own the rights to the motorcycle company...

I agree with Craig. This could be a wind-up but I sincerely hope not.
It's also a bit of a surprise to see the 'Triumph' name in chrome lettering just like on the TR4. Another give away perhaps?

However the false seam on the fender/ front valence area could be a sign of them reminiscing of the TR4

Just got backj from the US and I think the Pontiac Solstice and the Saturn Sky look brilliant. If the new Triumph does come out I will probably have one for my everyday car, unless Vauxhall bring the Solstice to the UK.

The Solstice and Sky look great, but really bad ergonomics. No trunk (boot) at all, the top goes there and the interior is a horror. No place to put anything!
By comparison the TR8 is a tractor trailer for trunk space.

They won't - the factory in Delaware that builds the Sky/Solstice/Opel GT isn't tooled up to build RHD vehicles. So Holden in Australia won't get it either. But we do get the VXR8 (like we got the Monaro).

The line on the door looks like a wedge only reversed.
