You guys are thinking of "high end sports cars" even then not all those cars are "RWD and 5spd", The term "sports car" should be used more loosely now with the technology they use in the engines and drivetrain.

"Sports Cars" is fitting lower end cars made for spirited driving with all around performance in mind.
The Car Manufactures have so many types of cars out now it doesnt really matter..


also the dude that said this about hondas hit it.
S2000 = Roadster
NSX = Sports Car
Integra = Compact Sports car
Civic = Econo car (With sometimes race "Inspired" engines)

That is all from a stock point of view.

although integras and civics share the same suspension/engines?
You could argue this sports car debate all day.
