911 isn't a sports car, it's a grand tourer, always has been always will be.

but Ferry Porsche felt that his company's business was not selling super-duper sedans or ultra-ultra sports/racing cars but optimum-priced, optimum-size, optimum-performance Gran Turismo cars, which is exactly what the 911 is.

Most cars don't bother being actual sports cars because those don't sell well because most people don't perform any sports in their sporting vehicles (see above). 86 and MX5 are the only options under $40k new, and over $40k it's really just Lotus, everyone else is just selling cars to assholes with too much money (Porsche, Ferrari, Corvette) or regular cars that are sported up (BMW, Audi, Lexus, Merc), and every once in awhile they're actually good to drive (well most of the time for Porsche, and everyone else is stepping up their game).
