Not sure if you meant this the way I'm reading it, but IMO this isn't the definition of neutral. Otherwise a heavily-understeering 135i would be considered neutral because you could get it to power oversteer or rotate through trail-braking.

I think the commonly accepted definition of a neutral car is one that neither understeers, nor oversteers, in a steady-state corner. All four tires will lose grip simultaneously. I don't think any car these days is truly neutral, as even the FR-S will steady-state understeer for the most part.
