Re: OFF-TOPIC: What's a sports car?

[Ed . Luce]

Interesting challenge. Some complex formula involving power-to-weight,
cornering acceleration, perhaps top speed?  I'd forget about straight line 
acceleration, especially from a standing start, as it rarely matters in what 
I'd consider a 'sporty' drive.  Something that evaluates the handling 
capability
in other words.

But the most obvious feature differentiating the examples given is the number 
of passengers.  A sports car has room for two occupants.  Period.
The term "sports sedan" belongs with other oxymorons like "military 
intelligence" and "reliable British engineering".
