It all depends on your own personal definition of a sports car. Mine does not include the shape of a car or the number of doors. Front drive does matter, but it can still be a sports car in my book. A sports car to me is about driving. As I once stated before, here is my criteria for judging a car, and to me would be the same criteria that makes a car a "sports" car:

fun to drive factor
overall feel of machine (how well the parts work and how well they work together)
cornering/handling ability
acceleration
top speed

looks


I know of many cars that look much sportier than the 3 cars I posted, but do not measure up to the overall abilities of these cars.
