Can you name any FWD sports cars?

I'm going to insist that the car is a sports car first and then sup'ed up. No family runabouts that got a wash of bling at a "Racing Department Tunning Shop". So no Civic TyreR, no Megane 265, definately no Clio RS or even Focus RS.

I'm going to take a stab at.

Fiat Coupe.
Hyundai Coupe.
Toyota Celica (later gen)
MR2 spider thing

Honda Prelude

In the same vein Scion TC, the successor to the Celica.

I'd love to say Integra but from the outset it had a 4-door variant so it doesn't meet your criteria. However the last generation (RSX here) only came in a 2 door, may meet your criteria?

Renault and some other Euro makers might have a few:

Edit: deliberated too long got beat to the punch on the Prelude

How is a Civic Type R not a sports car?

Edit: Nevermind. Read your post again.

to say that the celica is a sports car and not the civic or integra r doesnt make any sense. i can tell you that the integra r gives my brz a serious run for its money in the handling department (hard to compare since my time with each was so far apart). my speed protege handles better than most "sports cars."

if you care more about where a car came from rather than how it drives now, i dont think you understand what a sports car is about.

No. FWD is not found in my definition of a sports car.
