From the almighty Wikipedia (because no one can change that, right?
):
Quote:
|
A sports car (sportscar or sport car) is a small, usually two seat, two door automobile designed for spirited performance and nimble handling. Sports cars may be spartan or luxurious but high maneuverability and minimum weight are requisite.

And this is from Webster's:
Quote:
|
A low small usually 2-passenger automobile designed for quick response, easy maneuverability, and high-speed driving.

So, clearly it's open to interpretation, but there are general guidelines given on what a sports car is.
I wouldn't quite count any Mini in on being a sports car, in my opinion. Nor a Scion.
