I still have no idea what counts as a Sports car anymore, so I'm just gonna call them all Performance cars from now on. Since most cars which have the term sports attached to them are built to perform at a higher level than normal cars be it cornering or in a straight line.

So, by Wikipedia logic my car is a performance car because it was engineered to park at a higher level than any other car.

its all a mess. i.e. the "sport" version of a car is usually a cheaper trim level, not a faster one. Sports utility vehicles aren't sporty in the speed sense but in the sense of sporting pursuits (hunting and fishing and whatnot). and clearly there is some mud around what a "sports car" is. All in all, its silly to get bogged down in a definition that, at best, is only applicable "usually".

Sports Car has always been a loosely defined term. Every manufacturer treats it differently in how they classify their cars.

Agreed, but I think we should be more specific than just "performance cars".
...because a truck can be a performance car. It excels in thing-carrying performance.
Ferraris on the other hand, are fire- high speed performance cars. You don't know which one you're gonna get. Fire, speed or firey speed.
Similarly, WRXs are rally performance, any chromed cars are visual abomination performance cars and so on.
Unfortunately, this still doesnt stop Nissan from making the Sentra S :/

The Category would be Performance Cars and it will contain sub categories such as Roadster, Hot Hatch, Sport Saloon, Super Estate etc. So as far as I am concerned the MX5 and the S2K are no longer Sports Cars they are Roadsters again.

Yes but those names tell you how they look more than how good their performance is.
