And if you call a Miata a sports car but not an M5, yet an M5 out performs it nearly every aspect, then your logic is severely flawed.

There are different niches of sports cars. You can't compare a Mustang to a Miata, or and M5 to a Ferrari 458. All sports cars, all for different purposes.

I remember listening to Bill Cosby stand-up where he was talking about purchasing a sports car and he asked if anyone in the audience had one. People shouted out what they owned and one guy said "A Volkswagon!"

"A Volkswagon?!"
I absolutely won't. lol, have you been to the Porsche website?

I will not agree that a criteria makes the car. The Honda Insight, and CRZ are the only two cars I can think of off the top of my head that are as "sports car" as the Miata- and I could see an argument for the CRZ, but not the Insight.

I'd much rather have a Panamera, than anything else in there line. But I would never buy any of their products, unless my wife was LOADED.
