tell this to ferrari and porcshe.... I think they are pretty well set in the definition of "sports car" and so anything they do, automatically means its a sports car.
or do you want to call the 4 wheel drive, selectable automatic, rear engine ungodly fast cars they produce "non-sports cars"?
I remember hearing that "sports car" was defined by a manual transmission, front engine rear drive 2 door car. which would make the top sporty cars, not sports cars, but the miata fits... seems a little backwards.
or wait, well, they DID come up with another term..... "super car" which I belive the ferraris and porcshes and the lambo's fit into (well the lamb is more of a hypercar - all show with a big engine but not "fast" like a supercar)
