What exactly is a "drivers car" - I've always thought this was a stupid comment...
If you watch any real "driver" (Ken Block, the Stig, any WRC/Dakar competitor, Tanner Faust... racing drivers, etc) - they find a way to do awesome things with normal street cars.
I love driving and I used to thrash my little 1.4 Opel (Holden/GM) Astra to an inch of it's life. It has no power, hardly any handling, and didn't look good - yet I drifted, did 180/360 handbrake turns and generally heel-toed every time I need to down shift (cue massive increase in fuel consumption)! That was a drivers car... cos I loved driving it
It's just different strokes...
Sure - I personally like a car that can perform in corners and not just a straight line, but then people also buy tons of Harley's every year - so clearly there is a need to people to only go in a straight line (wait... maybe that's why they crash so often
)
