So my room mate and I were sitting around bored today watching that episode of Top Gear where Clarkson complains that the sports car is a dying breed and will be gone soon. My room mate promptly agreed and I told him how wrong he is. He claimed there's next to no sports cars available for sale in the US, and since I disagreed, we set out to make a list. So we did, and here it is: every "sports" car available for sale new in the US right now. What did we miss?
Here's our rules for the challenge:
- Had to be defined as it's own model, not just a trim, on the manufacturer's website.
- Had to be defined by the manufacturer as a performance / sport car.
- Had to be listed as currently available for sale on the manufacturer's web-site.
- Used the manufacturer listed MSRP, not the average paid or anything like that.
- All trims listed under base model pricing, i.e. all Mustangs are one entry; not one for the V6, V8, Shelby, etc.
Any suggestions for changes or additions of cars we missed?
