If we want to play the subdivision game than the current 86 is a GT car. In fact it is even called such in some markets and trims. If we broaden the definition of sports car to include the hot hatch and GT cars then yes it is most certainly one. Since everybody likes to define the term in what most suits their ideals then saying anything is or is not a sports car can be a slippery slope.

Not even the hot hatch argument holds since there was also a coupe version. Aside from a few decades, I'm not sure how different they really are. Live axle and inline engine are different but then what?
