well there you have it!
Maybe I'm not hip but I like the first gen Audi TT ragtops with the tan baseball glove interior. First time I sat in one I said " Hey look. They made a King Ranch Audi."
hahahahaha!
I agree with you on the speed/versatility of some of the hot hatchbacks. There are plenty of cool examples from 1980s on that would be cool to own and drive - the original GTI, Dodge Omni GLH, MazdaSpeed 3, Focus SVT, and several others. All cool, all have a high fun factor. Unfortunately, none are sports cars.
The problem is that the auto makers seem to think everyone wants a 4 door lately. What's up with that? I mean now there's not only a Porsche SUV but a Porsche sedan! I don't care what anyone says. That's just wrong.
My quirk is that I dig all the mechanically misunderstood cars from the 70s and 80s. When I lived in south Florida in the late 80s I wanted an Alfa Romeo real bad. Would I buy one now? Oh hell no! But as far as big 80s and even 90s cars go I love the XJS! I would go so far as to say that Jaguar never produced a better looking car. And given the absolutely horrible depreciation on most Jags you could get a nice one now for way under $10K. I would go with the inline 6 over the V12 just for reliability.

We did real good on a 77 Z car back in 2012. The thing about those early Z cars is there's always a buyer.
I agree with you there, a real 'sports car' would be rear-wheel drive. Plus the older hatchbacks are probably getting to the point of being collectable. Most of them didn't survive very long, so they are pretty rare.
