Best Sporty Coupe

spearfish25 · 02-24-2011, 08:21 AM

I posted a couple weeks ago that the Z is a black sheep when it comes to reviews, comparisons, etc. Here is some more support for my argument. Who's missing from this 'best sporty coupe for under $50k' voting list?

I voted for the Fiat in protest

hmmm wait a second...

LOL at the Fiat and Volvo being there, but no Z

Hmmm, perhaps because the Z is not a "Sporty Coupe" -- it is a sports car. Notice there is no Z4 or Boxster both which start under 50k -- though neither will stay there for long

. There is also no MX-5.

The RX-8 is perhaps a counter-example to this, but it does have 4 doors and 4 seats

You're kidding, right?

Notice that all of the cars in that list have... BACK SEATS! They are sports coupes, NOT sports cars.

If this list was "best sports cars under $50k" then you'd have a legitimate greivance, but otherwise, the Z doesn't belong on the list.

Oh good, confirmation that Mustang's, Camaro's and Challenger's are not sports cars. This should pacify those car forums.

ProfessorDave · 02-24-2011, 10:27 AM

I'm so confused! Do I own a sporty car or a sports car? Because I will no longer enjoy my Z if I get the wrong answer! :-)

flashburn · 02-24-2011, 10:37 AM

I believe it is actually a "Sporty Sports Coupe Car".
