yet somehow the nissan is trying to market the 09maxima a "sports sedan"
 "sports car" is a very general term. lots of cars are designed to many different things the evo and sti are designed for rally, and the last time i checked was a sport. so i consider them a sports car. integra type r was built to be a DD that was able to go to the track and be competitive. another form of "sport" -------------------- 2015 Subaru WRX. World Rally Blue/Black
2001 Honda S2000. Spa Yellow/Black |
