You do have a point there.
I think part of it is lots of people (me included) get really annoyed with people lumping cars like the Eclipse, Mustang, Miata etc. in with cars like a Gallardo or Veyron and blanketing them with the term "Sports Car". So people tend to respond with saying Miatas etc. aren't a sports car because they're not nearly on the same level as an exotic or supercar obviously.
