thats the thing though... some ppl define them strictly on looks... so basically u could put a prius motor and transmission on a frame with the blown out suspension from an old cadillac with a corvette body and they would still call it a sports car.... sports car depends on the history an complete family of the car.... sports cars generally come from a model that never had a 4 door version (with some exceptions like certain hatchbacks, wrx-sti and evo, but an m5, and cars of the like, are still sedans... if u pay for a bmw u pay for the best they can offer which means its gonna handle and perform like a sports car with the luxury of a sedan)... as far as i know, i cant think of any sports cars that were offered in a 4 door version other than the exceptions mentioned above... ferrari and porsche both now have those ugly 4 door cars that are sporty based only on the past of the company.
