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.
When I say "capable of either" I don't mean a car that understeers all the time but you can technically make it rotate through brute force. I mean it's in the middle and you can get it to go either way easily.
