Ok, I am not taking sides in the 14Black1LESS / IMadeYouReadThis "debate", but I will hope to add some clarity on vehicle segment classifications.
Over the many years that I worked in GM Product Planning we used several different sources for vehicle classification. Our own, Wards Automotive, R.L. Polk, EPA, and one that I am suddenly drawing a blank on, but when I remember I'll add it. All of them
except EPA classify Camaro and Mustang as Sports Cars. EPA classifies them as Sporty Cars.
Most classify
* Miata, BRZ, WRX, etc as Small Sports Cars.
* Camaro, Mustang, Genesis Coupe, Nissan 370Z are classified as Mid-Sized Sports Cars.
* Corvettes, Porsches, Ferraris, etc are classified as Premium Sports Cars.
* Challengers and Chargers are classified as Large Cars (not Large Sports Cars, just Large Cars)
We now return you to our regularly scheduled pissing match.
