And it's not semantics. There's a major difference between a Sports Coupe and a Sports Car. 2 seaters, regardless of price, are almost exclusively second vehicles. Many people buy a sports-coupe as their only vehicle, because it's just practical enough to get by with, yet still fun. So it's definitely not semantics; more like "major difference in demographics."

the camaro didnt even exist until recently. the mustang had a major redesign. the challenger again, is a recent car. the gen coupe is NOT doing that well. etc. etc. etc.
i just look at it differently than you. i wouldnt say the segment exploded. instead i'd say GM made a friggin camaro again. the mustang got redesigned, etc. its not like holy crap lets buy sports coupes! it more like holy crap lets buy camaro/mustangs!
