Powered by a high-revving 4-cylinder engine mated to a slick 6-speed manual, the rear-wheel-drive Honda S2000 offers entertaining handling. The CR is a focussed track-toy.

The Pontiac Solstice is a good-looking two seat sports car, powered by a choice of 4-cylinder engines, including a turbocharged version. Handling is not on a par with most of the competition.
