Performance car, yes. Sports car, no.
Performance and sporting are not interchangeable. The Miata is not a performance car, but it has been the definitive sports car since 1989. The STI started as a crappy econobox sedan and was built-up so it actually went forward and turned a bit, albeit with minimal driver interaction. As such, it's not a sports car. Can you wrap your head around that?

Why not? What's the problem? What other low-production FR sports cars are out there for $25k besides the Miata? If Toyoda-san is out there on the 'ring giving the LF-A a tough time in the corners, what's stopping Toyota from marketing the FR-S as a baby LF-A and charging $30k or more?
