Mustang outsold the 911 in Germany last month, 780 Mustangs to 752 911's. Seriously. http://money.cnn.com/2016/04/08/autos/ford...-sales-germany/
Well, at half the price that probably does make sense, but still, Mustang? |

That's condescending, sure, but what does it mean? Nitwit yahoos do foolish things with all kinds of cars, but that doesn't mean anything more than the car happened to be in the hands of an idiot that day. If I googled a photo of a Porsche embarrassingly backwards in granny's garden would that be proof that Porsches aren't real "sports" cars? Of course not, it wouldn't mean much at all.
Now I'm intrigued. So what is it, exactly, that makes a car a "sports" car? If that guy can lap his minivan faster than your Porsche does that mean his is and yours isn't? Probably not, but then what is it? Is it purely subjective? "I think it is, therefore it is"? That seems as illogical as a blooper Mustang photo, but is that it? All in your mind? It used to be that we had either big soft sedans or hard little two-seaters, nothing in between, but maybe that entire concept is passe. I guess in the end it doesn't much matter either way, just meanings of words that change over time. Interesting maybe, but not important. |

Now I'm intrigued. So what is it, exactly, that makes a car a "sports" car? The definition of a sports car seems to be ever evolving. For many people, the last true sports cars are those from the 1950's...no wind up windows, no creature comforts, nothing that detracts from the tasks of driving in a sporty manner. My 1957 MGA meets those criteria. |
