I know, I know, I'm a drooling idiot without a clue.
Pretty much. Modern word usage tends towards sloppiness. Blurring of definitions. This is how fuckstick politicians and ad copy writers get away with the shit they say. Automotive magazine writers are notorious for this. But most of the important automotive definitions, at least those not handed down from the horse-drawn carriage industry, were in place by 1970. They still make sports cars - Miata, S2000, Boxster, Caterham 7. Road going, rwd, lightweight (relatively speaking), good handling (also relatively speaking), two-seater designed from the drawing board to be without a fixed roof. There's no reason to widen that definition. There are sports coupes, sport sedans (and no, BMW did not create that niche, Alfa did), supercars, etc. There is a definition already in place for damn near everything that has come down the pike since that advent of the pony car (SUV's and Hybrids being the exception). The only change needed to the sports car definition is when Porsche introduced the open top mid-engined sports car - the 914 (The 550 was never really a production car).

Scargoes, I'd actually love to take it to Willow one day, don't expect to break any records, but I think it would be fun. Let me know when it cools down in the fall of a track day that would work, and I'd let you drive it.
I guess the Sports Cars that race in the ROLEX SPORTS CAR series, are also GT because they have a roof. I honestly think you guys are among the stupidest people I've come across.
Ferrari 550 Maranello, is a GT car. Ferrari 430 is a sports car. I just love how a dozen or less on CSi think they've got it ALL figured out.
And I don't work in customer service, I manage the art department. Opportunities like driving Nascar stock cars, doing go-kart enduros, etc. come up and I take the offer. Every one I work with, for the most part, races, or has raced. The sales guy 2 desks over from me has been on the cover of G0-Racing, his sons both teach at Derrick Daly's school in Vegas and one raced in Europe. Drivers and team people are here with regularity. I also sponsor a 1/4 midget with Amsoil, but you probably have your heads so far up your asses that you think I'm talking about a "little person".

I just don't know if I could buy that cheap shit Q with what it might cost me to maintain such a high end luxury car that's out of warranty. Definitely a good buy for some block boy or D-boy tryin' to come up in da hood though.
Of course it competes, fuck head. But it's definitely still just near luxury. I have an Acura, my girlfriend has a G35C....both are NEAR luxury. Thing is, the Acura's interior is significantly better than her Infiniti. Materials, fit, finish, "feel", etc, etc, etc. (which all are still worlds better than your piece of mid-90s dog shit you're over there reppin' the fuck out of).

Good buy for a low mileage, well kept car that will run forever.
Oh, guys, oooh, you should also add calling BMW to your agenda's so you can explain that they need to take the Infiniti out of their TV commercial where they say "when other LUXURY car manufacturers..." and the Infiniti is in the front row, because, you know, Infiniti "isn't a luxury car brand", it's "near luxury".
Morons.
Wow, it's rare that you see someone get this worked up by some comments on the internet.

Sports coupe. It's got a roof.
I just love how a dozen or less on CSi think they've got it ALL figured out.
As opposed to just you by yourself?

No, as opposed to myself and pretty much the rest of the general population.
There's your problem then.
cheers, scott

BTW, I don't see your low budget piece of shit featured on Junction Produce's site.
http://www.junction-produce.co.jp/english/
So, what you're saying is, you're the lowest of the low budget baller set? Bottom feeder making his bukkake ropes at Home Depot.
Christ you're pathetic.

So, small picture buried somewhere....the main page does not feature your bargain basement shit. End of story.
You sir are a joke in ANY automotive community....well, unless it's the underlings and bottom dwellers in Japan trying to look like a Yakuza boss because they can't afford a Mercedes. Is this fact not sinking in? It seems painfully obvious.

Actually that's just a rehash of what people have been telling you for 14 pages. You define "slow".

My Acura of 6-speeds does everything better than you car. EVERYTHING. And yes you would take it....because you could sell it and buy like 5 of your pieces of shit.
At MOST I'd use your car as a urinal.
Your car is "on par" with:
Same level of exclusivity.

Man, I just googled that hotness. It's called the Eunos in Japan (land of the rising sun, dont'cha know). EUNOS. Just sound that name out loud. Make sure the second syllable is nicely drawn out. EUNOOOOOOS. Yeah, you know you want some. No shit the Q is on par with motherfucking Eunos. Recognize.
