In my opinion the 2 cars have more things in common with each other compared to their differences.
At risk of opening Pandora's Box I will say for the pure sake of classification the new 86 is not a "sports car" either. Both the AE and the new are 2+2 coupes. The AE 86 body style was totally in line with the "sports cars" of the era the same as the new is inline with today's.
