I would never consider buying a single one of those cars. I can't get past the looks of even one of them.

Personally I can't see why anyone would pay that much for a Civic Type R, when for 38k you could get get something like a V8 Mustang or Camaro, or god knows what else

Anyone who calls a Subaru BRZ incredibly fast has lost all credibility with me ��

In my opinion, none of the cars listed in the aforementioned article are true sports cars.

All I see in the article are some hot hatches, hairdresser's cars and a convertible nissan.

I do not want to argue with anyone, these are my opinions and your results may vary.

If it's a true sportscar, affordability is not a consideration.

So before my current car , I hadn’t owned a muscle car for 20+ years. I’m not gonna lie but I looked at some of the cars on this list. It didn’t take long, however, to realize I was just too old for them LOL!

This is easy - I already own a 38K sports car. I don't consider the Gen 6 SS a muscle car as it far surpasses that old "straight line" performance label.

I wouldn't buy one car on that list (well maybe the miata).

So there's nothing really.wrong with these cars. But for some reason the non American car people seem to think "everyone" drives a muscle car and they want something different. I don't agree with the mentality. But these are plenty fun cars. the article is just trying to create a stir with the headline. It worked lol

To be accurate, this is a list of ordinary cars which may or may not be equipped with "A" feature or two commonly associated with a sports car, all for an outrageously unreasonable amount of money.

What is even more hilarious is the WRX they show is the S209 which has an MSRP of $63,995 dollars. I owned an STI for over 12 years so as soon I saw the picture I was like " That's "

The only one I'd consider owning is the type-r, looks aside it handles pretty good, and I care about handling. I'd probably take it over the challenger. But I can't stand those boats. I drove my cousins scat pack and it was awful.
