Sports car There is no exact definition of a sports car, but it is typically a two-seater two-door automobile designed for performance - speed, maneuverability, acceleration. Often open, or convertible, but not necessarily. Some sports cars may have small emergency back seats that are really only suitable for luggage. A sports car never has four doors or a full back seat.
Well known specialist brands or marques, new and old, are: AC, Alfa Romeo, Alpine, Aston Martin, Austin-Healey, Bricklin, Bugatti, Caterham, De Lorean, Donkervoort, Ferrari, HKT, Jaguar, Lamborghini, Lotus, McLaren, Maserati, MG, Morgan, Porsche Triumph, TVR. Almost all major car manufacturers also make some form of high performance car, sometimes very successfully such as Ford with the GT40.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- Sooooo... you think an Accord is a sports car....
And how many cars will kick the shit out of an Accord. Performance is relative, depends on how much money you have. You would have been smarter to compare the Acura RSX (sticking with Honda products) to the Eclipse, although neither is a true sports car. Might want to consider a Miata if you want a sport car.
the current generation of eclipse will never and can never be a sports car.
