An M3 is not sporty. It's a sports car. Or a sports coupe. It's not a "sporty" anything. An M3 is built for performance with a special emphasis on handling, and it's extremely fast compared to most cars (and is faster than some supercars from less than a decade ago). That qualifies as a sports car. Or coupe. Or whatever noun you want to place behind "sports". In fact, I guess you could even call it a sports GT. But it's not a freaking "sporty" anything.

I strongly disagree with what you wrote. The m3 is a compromise. It is designed to haul four people and emphasizes comfort. Although it may perform well, because ///m built the m3 with that in mind, it makes the m3 a sporty gt, and not a sports car.
