I keep finding this "is it sports car" question kind of amusing. If it quacks like a duck...well you know. Since when did the measure of a sports car come from drag strip numbers? This car corners with the big dogs. Has brakes that really lean you into your seat belt. 0-60? Who cares? 35 to 85 is a far more relevant number for a sports car and here our ride does just fine. If you want to compare it with cars for 35K and down few cars can jump it coming out of the corners. Few cars can enter as hot either. Sure does quack like a duck. Add to that its good looks and good manners. Yeah, why not buy one?
