They couldn't do a thing, so I suspect Caterham won't give two flying fcuks...

Caterham / Renault joint venture has been canned apparently although they will both still be bringing out new cars - could get messy!!

Caterham is a niche product, but this last year has seen an attempt to market it like a mainstream product. IMHO a real miss-match of owners aspirations and the brand identity. Just hope Caterham survives the ordeal :(

Now confirmed that the joint venture is scrapped, they will both still be bringing out cars but no word on if they will share design :?

My thoughts are similar, David. Specifically concerning their aspirations to expand from Se7en-only. Seems a risky folly.
