Sorry, but I don't look at my Camaro as a sports car either. It's a muscle car beast.

I have to say I love my camaro ,but I agree with him in the respect that it is not a sports car. But what I say to that is, who really cares what the hell they label it. It's still an awesome car no matter what you call it.

He wasn't bashing the Camaro...he was arguing the semantics of the term "Sports Car". My Father used to tell me: "Only idiots argue semantics".

Read my lips, GM: The Chevrolet Camaro is not, and has never been, a "sports car." We all know what a sports car is: Two seats (or a plus-two layout at most); rear-wheel drive; convertible optional; relatively compact and lightweight. A sports car is a Chevy Corvette. A Mazda Miata is also a sports car, as is a Porsche 911, an MG and a Nissan Z.



WTF... Backseats? Maybe if we shove his #$% behind the front seats of this car he will realize it has no backseat. Mazda Miata is a sports car? My John Deer riding lawn mower doesnt have a top or a backseat, that doesnt make it a sports car? This article is really dumb.

That sounds about right. Camaro is not a sports car.

Why are you mad at the guy for stating the truth?

The Camaro is not a sports car...

You sir should be banned from ever speaking about cars again, the Miata is the purest form of sports car available to the mass market.

Again yes I agree by definition.. but the point is does a Miata deserve to be thrown in with Corvette, Porsche etc?

Why does everyone get so up in arms about what other people say about Camaros?

I own one, and I love it. I don't care if Johnny McColumnist thinks it's a steaming pile. Opinions are like a$$holes, everyones got one, and the loudest ones get more attention.
