I remember a big debate a while back about the Celica being a sports car, well it's considered a Japanese sports car by the Wikipedia. Either way it's opinion but IMO it is seeing as it's somewhat light, good maneuverability, good looks, and can have good performance.

If you compare even the ST to the classic sports cars of the 50's and 60's our cars eat them alive. They weren't even that fast. 0-60 under 10 seconds used to be fast back in the day and a 15 second quarter mile was the standard during the muscle car era. I think handling is a big part of being a sports car, which our cars do just fine at. Most of the exotic cars have left the realm of being a sports car and are now considered "exotics" or "super cars". I think the unofficial criteria for being a super car is 0-60 in under 5 seconds and being able to reach 150 mph. I don't think a car has to meet those standards to be a sports car.
