Is an Audi a sports car?

[Ron356A at aol.com]

This debate has been going on since about 1950 at least in the US. It all 
depends on how one defines a sports car.
There have been numerous articles in every mag from R&T to Mechanics 
Illustrated over the years titled "What is a Sports Car?" There was no answer 
in 1950 and wont be one in 2050 I bet.
Who care what label other people put on your car. If you like it that's all 
that matters.
To me a "sports car" would have no roll up windows, but I have a 356 Coupe 
that, in anyone's book, would be considered a "sports car."
I had a Testarossa that was slower of the mark than 5 L Mustangs. Some people 
would consider the Mustang to be a sports car, but the TR weighed slightly 
less than a Kenworth and you couldn't fling it around corners like an MGA.
So..... if one wants to call whatever car one owns a sports car, they should. 
It's their car and hell what anybody else thinks.

Just 356 cents worth
