< Nami nami nami nami ... > Thanks to the recent discussion on the net regarding 'cheap' sports cars, I've decided to throw in my two cents' worth. The following list defines some of my classifications, each with some examples (not a comprehensive list!). Some of the classes are also used by Road & Track... Sports/GT: - VW Scirocco - Chevrolet Corvette - Mazda RX-7 Sports sedan: - BMW 318i - Audi 4000 - Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe Sedan: - VW Golf - Chevrolet Citation - Renault Alliance Luxury sedan: - Mercedes 300 SD (and don't argue about this one!) - Cadillac Sedan De Ville - Rolls Royce Camargue Sports/Luxury: - Mercedes 500 SEC - Porsche 928 - Lincoln Mark VII Sports car: - Lotus Super Seven - Porsche 911 Carrera RSR - Porsche 924 Carrera GTS According to my definition, a sports car is a car that's small, fast, fun to drive *and* is ready to be taken to the races on the weekend. It should also be expensive to repair...

Sorry to disagree with Tom, but personally I cannot see how a Golf
can be classified as a Sedan. Its a hatchback, its like calling
a Honda Civic a sedan, which it definately is not. On the whole
however, his list does seem to make a lot of sense.
