  • Chris Harris flogs the Scion FR-S in Wales

    When it comes to lightweight and affordable rear-drive sports cars that you can buy new in the United States, the list is indeed a short one. In fact the only cars that come to mind for us are the new Scion FR-S (and its fraternal twin, the Subaru BRZ) and the Mazda MX-5 Miata. Yes, we know we’re glossing over cars like the V-6 Ford Mustang and the V-6 Chevy Camaro, both of which can be had for the same price as a Scion FR-S if you go light on the options. While both are rear-drive, neither is lightweight and neither is what we’d call nimble. To put it another way, there’s a...

  • Caterham Supersport

    Caterham Cars is best known for building its version of the no-frills, bare-bones Lotus Seven sports roadster. While big on performance and value, Caterham Sevens have never been much for creature comforts, and even with a top and side curtains fitted are best described as “somewhat water resistant” in the rain. That limits the bulk of their appeal to fair weather track day driving, which is an awfully narrow window of opportunity, especially in Caterham’s native England. Now, Whatcar quotes Caterham boss Graham MacDonald as saying that a new model, complete with a hard top...
