Does the Mustang really weigh that much now? I recall the last live axle model was only around 1500kg...
They never even sold the Supra, MR2 Turbo, 300ZX turbo here, because they would have been too expensive. Luckily, that means lots of cheap imports can flood our used market.

I guess the definition of "sports car" I was using is a bit fuzzy and esoteric (btw Wally hit the nail in the head).
If there were a toyota camry that could outperform a Corvette in every single performance metric, I'd see it as just a very fast sedan. If I saw a Miata, with is sexy lines and all that, I'd think "oh! a sports car!". Performance obviously makes a sports car, but for the purposes of this topic I guess there was also an emotional element. The sort of car that has "sexy" lines, and is probably not very practical, is a sports car. These are the kind of cars many of us would have in a poster or as a cover in our middle school notebooks, cars such as ferraris, corvettes, porsches and well, technically, the lines of a 240sx or a miata fill the bill too.

Sports car for me equals a driving enthusiasts car.
If the car was bought for sporty fun, sports racing, performance driving etc, it's a sports car for me.
Anal retentives will pidgeon hole the term sports car but that is their hang up not mine.

I guess America doesn't get a Peugeot rcz? Cause they're about he price of a golf with a few options here...
I'm getting confused though... Are we talking about sports cars or sporty looking cars? Cause a tiburon has sleek lines
or as a lady friend of mine once said, a Ferrari with a better price tag

Sure, and a crop duster is an F22 with a better price tag.

The double bubble roof to the back of the RCZ is really sleek. One of those cars I'd never consider, but enjoy seeing in traffic.
