Probably for the same ugly reason they pulled the plug on the Focus RS, Focus ST and Fiesta ST, all great drivers cars. They make more money selling SUV's and crossovers. All we can do is to vote with our wallet, and keep buying hot hatches, sport compacts, etc. Mind you, the cars Ford just put out to pasture were actually selling, just not as well as the latest house on wheels. Or with as high margins. At 64. I am not to old to operate a clutch pedal, trail brake,, and carve a corner. I am far too old to waste my time driving the latest monstrosity designed to please no one but Ebeneezer Scrooge. If that. Yes. businesses need to generate profits. But the best businesses do that by creating greatness as well: Lotus-any Lotus- chariots of the gods. Porsche 911, Cayman and Boxster. Honda Civic SI and Type R. Hyundai N series. Even Kia has the Stinger. Not my style. but respectable. Subaru still puts out the STI and WRX. Nut the Mitdubushi EVI sadly gone. Nissan- the 370 Z and GTR. Peugeot and Renault make some great cars. SEAT. BMW has softened, but at least the M2 Comp is great. Mercedes could just sell luxury cars and SUV's. But they still put out the AMG coupes and sedans. And the A35 and A45 hatches. My point? Someone is buying all these various driver’s cars. But their purchases are drowned out by the millions more buying SUV's, crossovers and trucks they don't even need. A good hatchback or sportswagen or estate will do the job. Teach your kids to drive a manual. And performance driving. They can't heel and toe downshift and text at the same time. More focus= less distractions and safer driving. There is a fight for the hearts and minds of the driving public. Don't let the robots and beancounters win.
Warning: long answer ahead, mostly consisted of photographs A lot… The modern day automobile industry differentiate their different car types base on a lot of factors, such as their intended usage, performance etc. However, the easiest way to differentiate these cars is by looking at their structure/shape. Sedan Your box standard car when the general public think “car”. typically comprised of three sections with the engine in front and four doors. Rolls Royce Phantom Toyota Corolla Hyundai Stinger GT Porsche Panamera, doesn’t quite follow the typical “sedan” format but can still be considered one. It’s more of a mixture of a sedan and a fastback. Other examples with this body shape are the Audi A7 and Toyota Prius Estate A sedan with a larger boot that also directly leads into the cabin, and with a vertical door at the back. Mercedes Benz C-class estate Audi RS6 Avant Volvo V90 Hatchback A small car that have a vertical back door, which also leads into the cabin. Can be 3-door, 4-door or 5-door. Can be considered a mini-version of the estate class, though not as long nor big. VW Golf R Suzuki Swift Mini Cooper Clubman Pick-up Also have three distinct sections like the sedan. Unlike the sedan, the rear section is a open-topped bed to put cargo in, and is completely separated from the cabin. Ford F-150 Chevrolet Silverado RAM 1500 Off-roader A large vehicle with similar structure to the hatchbacks, though with a much larger cabin and with a higher ground clearance, giving them better off-road capabilities. Some are 4-wheel drive, though some aren’t. Land Rover Discovery Jeep Wrangler Honda CR-V Multi-Purpose Van A large vehicle with two distinct sections, with the cabin being very boxy and large, and having a small engine compartment. Nissan Serena Citroen C4 Grand Picasso Fiat Doblo Coupe A two-door vehicle that also have a sleeker, shorter body shape. Ferrari LaFerrari Aston Martin Vantage Jaguar F-type Convertible A vehicle with a removable top Porsche 911 Targa BMW Z4 Mazda MX5 Track car Had to add this in because some cars just don’t belong in any of the previous categories. They’re very track-focused cars with a multitude of body shapes. The most obvious ones are those that are open-topped, with (semi-)exposed wheels, exposed components (such as the suspension), and a small body. However, there also are ones that takes the shape of a typical coupe, though with racing body components (body kits, wing/spoiler etc). Some could run on the streets, while some couldn’t. Pagani Zonda R BAC Mono McLaren P1 GTR Ariel Atom V8 That’s all I could think of. Hoped this helped :) All images from Google
Depends on how you define a sports car. The Stinger certainly has enough power, and is engineered to perform well above the average car. The GT model specifically, with all wheel drive and additional power, has been reviewed very well. But is it a light two seater roadster? No. It is not light, and it is certainly not a roadster. What about as a low slung sports car? Not really. Okay then, does it qualify as a sport compact car or performance sedan? Now there you can make a better case. It is not an impractical weekend toy, but a daily driver on steroids. Sadly, like many performance cars these days, a manual transmission is not even an option. Also, Kia went for a more luxe approach. Power ranges from 255 to 365 hp. Weight ranges from 3,611 to 4,023. Not light, even with the smaller 4 cylinder model, and certainly a bit porky for the 6 cylinder upper range. Again, cars in general are heavier now due to addition safety features and tech. But it is fast - 4.7 to 60 for the GT model. And apparently fun to drive. But a ‘sports car’? For me, no. A sporty, more luxurious car than most? Yes. Overall, a good car that may be in danger of being discontinued, due to the current economic challenges. To me, a sports car should be agile, involving, sexy if possible, and feel special. Is my Civic Type R a sports car? 306 hp, 3117 lbs., adaptive modes including ‘R' for Race, sports car seats and a lower seating position, world class brakes, responsive steering, a slick shifting manual transmission with rev matching if you want it, 20″ ultra low profile tires, monster grip, numerous lap records, and with all that most people still would not call it a sports car. Maybe a ‘hot hatch'. Okay, definitely a hot hatch. Why? It is not rear wheel drive, it holds four adults, it is just too practical to fit the classic definition of a sports car. And yet it is closer than the Stinger. So no, even with the evolving idea of a sports car, the Stinger is not exactly that. It is a performance luxury sedan. And that is not a bad thing to be. What are examples of a ‘sports car’ versus a sport compact, sport sedan, hot hatch, or muscle car? The Toyota 86/ Subaru BRZ/Scion FRS. Most cars by Lotus. A Mazda Miata. A Corvette. A Porsche Boxster, Cayman or 911. An Alfa Romeo 4C. Any generation MR2. Any Datsun or Nissan Z car. A BMW Z8, Z4, Z3.

It depends on your definition of pleasure. Some people want a car that just wafts them from place to place in extreme comfort and quiet. For them a large upscale sedan will work just fine, or even a luxury SUV. Even some trucks are available with great interiors, provide great visibility, and smooth engines, but cost a small fortune and are still not as quiet as the better sedans. Examples on the lower end for the pampered approach would be a Toyota Avalon or Honda Accord. Or in the middle, a Mercedes C class, Audi A6 or BMW 5 series. Any Cadillac model with magnetic ride control, such as the CT6. If cost is no object, you have the Mercedes S class, BMW 7 series, Audi R8, Rolls Royce Phantom or Bentley. The best bang for the buck in this category is the Genesis G90 which has wonderful seats, great ride, and is very quiet- for half to a 1/3 the cost of some other cars that it competes with. Don’t get me wrong, some of these cushy rides are really fast and capable performers, but they tend to be heavier and are not prioritized for enthusiasts. Others, myself included, want to be inspired by the drive and will prioritize handling, braking, acceleration, and driver involvement. I still don't want to be beat to death by the suspension or lose hearing, or throw my back out entering or exiting the car. But most of all, I want to feel connected and involved, not lulled to sleep. So what cars fall into this second definition of a pleasurable commute? Let's start with two I know well. The Honda Civic SI was used for years on a long commute. But I never minded, the car was so engaging to drive. Quick enough, a great six speed manual, excellent brakes, a fantastic chassis and steering with huge cornering grip. The ride was not bad, if not quite as forgiving as some of the cars listed above. One of the best all around cars, period, let alone for the price. Seats were fine at first, but eventually became less comfortable, and encouraged me to consider trading up. The car I traded it for? A Honda Civic Type R. Why? In addition to a better performing and sounding engine I was looking for much better seats, and the extra storage you get in a hatch. The handling, already great in the SI, moved up sharply in the Type R. From .95 - 97g for the SI to 1.03 g for the Type R on a skidpad. Brakes are even better. The 106 feet stopping distance from 60 in the SI is very, very good, but the 99 feet from 60 in the Type R is world class. A pleasant commute means avoiding accidents, right? The engine sound improved. The car is faster and revs higher. But best of all the Alcantara seats are very, very comfortable. Saved my backside. In the SI, I eventually had to buy a special leather cushion just to drive it comfortably. No need for that in the Type R. Before the world shut down, I commuted in the Type R and enjoyed every mile. Pure pleasure. Even with 20″ ultra low profile tires vs. the 18″ low profile rubber on the SI, the ride is somehow even better! Highly recommended. Mine is an ‘18. New ones have additional safety features and driver assists. But you do have to be able to drive a manual or be willing to learn. It is worth it! Those are just two examples. Other enthusiast cars for a pleasant commute? BMW M2 or M4, Hyundai Veloster N, Porsche Cayman or Boxster. Why not a Subaru WRX STi? Too harsh a ride. Focus RS, Nope. A good track car, but not a great daily driver. The seats are overbolstered. Visibility is fair. The new Corvette C8 with magnetic ride control is fast, tight, comfortable, just amazing. Could be used for a commute, but borderline for that purpose. Most pure muscle cars are not ideal commuters- gas mileage on most is poor. That engine and exhaust noise is cool, but might not wear well on a long commute. Plus the ride on some will beat you up. Vibration can also be a factor. Or, in the case of a Camaro, you can’ t even see out of it. If you want a thrill, but can't and won't drive a true manual- a pity- some good options for you are Kia Stinger, Audi TT, Audi R10. Porsche 911, Audi RS5.
Hmmmm…. Well, I’ve got a couple of candidates. In my #1 spot, we have the ,Porsche 906,, which was the last street-legal racing car produced by Porsche, is right on up there. It was also the first car they tested in a wind tunnel, mainly to make it possible to keep the car on the ground at top speed down the ,Mulsanne Straight, in the ,Circuit de la Sarthe,. 50 were produced in series, and sold to the public, completely meeting the homologation requirements of the ,FIA,'s new ,Group 4 Sports Car, category to the letter. Amazing car to drive, incredibly complex to restore. In my #2 spot, we have the ,Chevrolet Corvair, ,Yenko Stinger,. The Corvair was on it’s way out, thanks to everyone’s best friend, ,Ralph Nader, but this was far and away the best effort made at keeping it alive. ,Don Yenko,, who had been racing Corvettes, could not compete with Caroll Shelby’s Mustangs, and rather than give up, decided to change classes. The Corvair was not “classed” so he made it into a “sports racing car” by removing the back seat, and produced 100 examples in a month, all white with blue stripes - the “official” FIA colors for US racing cars. They went like stink. All the things that made the Porsche 911 the dominant life form in sports car racing for decades were present in this beast. They are insane to drive, particularly compared to other cars of the period. Only 185 produced, but they remain remarkably affordable for some reason I can’t fathom. And yeah, they too were street legal. If I were going to do a resto-rod, or just wanted to buy a maximally cool cruiser on a dead stock basis from 1966, it would be this: the 1966 Ford Galaxy 500. I love the stacked headlights. It’ll take any drivetrain Ford ever produced, and they’re just gorgeous. You can trivially fix the “boatiness” with the “export kit” sway bar and front under-hood bracing, and it’s easy to boost the brakes to acceptable levels. The best part? Concours-grade examples are only about $18, right now, and “damned nice” cars are hovering around $10k.
If you consider the boot/trunk and the bonnet/hood as doors, then look no further than the Mazda MX5. If you got a lot more money to spend, maybe a Porsche Cayman GTS or the Corvette Stingray, because we all know that sports cars are 2 door and generally 2 seaters (Subaru BRZ and Porsche 911 as exceptions) with rwd. But the Mazda is reliable and affordable enough to be a daily driver. Unless you are looking for a sporty sedan, then go look at the Kia Stinger GT and ignore all the badge snobs around you since it is a very fine and fun grand touring sedan that is already a total bargain in the msrp ($40k usd). This is 2020, not 2001.
