Very Broad Interpretation of Sports Car

Many of the cars on this list are unlikely to fit with what is described in the Sports car article. In particular, the Terminology section of Sports car says:

A car may be a sporting automobile without being a sports car. Performance modifications of regular, production cars, such as sport compacts, sports sedans, muscle cars, hot hatches and the like, generally are not considered sports cars, yet share traits common to sports cars. They are sometimes called "sports cars" for marketing purposes for increased advertising and promotional purposes. Performance cars of various configurations are grouped as Sports and Grand tourer cars or, occasionally, as performance cars.

Perhaps we should clean up the list to only include cars which are suitable. By reducing the scope of the definition of sports car being applied, we would also keep the list much shorter and more useful. Nasty (talk) 01:51, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'd also like to comment that this list describes the Subaru BRZ as a "more powerful version of the Toyota 86/Scion FR-S" when they have identical engines and powertrains -CR — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.129.91.190 (talk) 16:05, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The approach seems to be rather scattergun, with some cars barely fitting the classification at all (Renault Wind) and yet with some indisputable, even iconic, sports cars left out (Nissan Silvia). Trouble is, as with all car classification, there's no clear definition of what is and isn't a sports car. The Ford Puma, Peugeot 406 Coupe, Renault Fuego, Nissan 100Nx and BMW 135i coupe all could be considered sports cars, but on the other hand there are just as many arguments that they shouldn't be. Manufacturers build varying levels of "sportiness" and practicality into their cars to the point at which almost every car in existence is some sort of mixture of both with practicality compromised for desirability to some degree and vice versa. Sports cars are, by definition, skewed toward desirability and performance, obviously, but there's just no way of quantifying the point at which a car moves from 'sporty' to 'sports car', meaning that the list will always be contentious and misleading to some degree.

As the title of this section implies, it is largely down to interpretation. And interpretation isn't verifiable. Which is why I think this article should probably be deleted. 31.53.102.112 (talk) 22:31, 15 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm amazed that there is not a single Lotus car listed! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.228.104.100 (talk) 20:23, 15 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Add peugeot RCZ to the list

I think the Peugeot RCZ may be added to the list. Since i'm not sure and afraid to waste the file, i will just suggest the item to be added.

Mini Coupé and Roadster should be added

These cars should be added to this list since their article puts them in the sport's compact category 76.50.10.170 (talk) 01:46, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Toyota GR Yaris
