The first car I bought (and currently, the only car I've actually owned) is a V6 Grand Am Coupe. Is it sporty? Depends on your perspective. When you compare it to a typical Civic or a Corolla it most certainly is. Expressive styling, torquey low reving engine, factory cold air intake (branded as 'ram air'), is reasonably light at a bit over 3000 lbs, has rather wide & low profile tires, quicker steering & firmer suspension vs other Grand Ams (or Aleros or Malibus that share the platform). Its not a sports car by any stretch of the imagination, but sporty? Sure.

On the other hand, its a fwd 4 speed automatic that barely makes 200 ft-lbs of torque and couldn't hope to hit 200 hp. Nothing really sporty about that.
