Thanks to the recent discussion on the net regarding 'cheap' sports
cars, I've decided to throw in my two cents' worth.  The following
list defines some of my classifications, each with some examples (not
a comprehensive list!).  Some of the classes are also used by Road &
Track...

Sports/GT:
	- VW Scirocco
	- Chevrolet Corvette
	- Mazda RX-7
Sports sedan:
	- BMW 318i
	- Audi 4000
	- Ford Thunderbird Turbo Coupe
Sedan:
	- VW Golf
	- Chevrolet Citation
	- Renault Alliance
Luxury sedan:
	- Mercedes 300 SD (and don't argue about this one!)
	- Cadillac Sedan De Ville
	- Rolls Royce Camargue
Sports/Luxury:
	- Mercedes 500 SEC
	- Porsche 928
	- Lincoln Mark VII
Sports car:
	- Lotus Super Seven
	- Porsche 911 Carrera RSR
	- Porsche 924 Carrera GTS

According to my definition, a sports car is a car that's small, fast,
fun to drive *and* is ready to be taken to the races on the weekend.
It should also be expensive to repair...
