I'm unconvinced. "Roadster" has always meant "something with an open top and not enough seats." "Sports Car" has always meant "something with not enough seats." "Convertible" is something with a top that comes down. "Coupe" is something with two doors. "Sedan" is something with four. "Hatchback" is something where the trunk and the rear glass form part of the roof and part of the trunk. "Station wagon" is a sedan with a glass-enclosed trunk that continues the roofline. These are not controversial definitions, and they have never been assailed by any manufacturer, trade group or journalistic organization. So if you're going to be pedantic about definitions, be pedantic and RIGHT.

So sure. Bitch that the Mustang isn't a "sports car." It's not. It's not by any stretch of the definition, at 3800 lbs with a back seat. But it's also not a sedan, dumbass.

It's a coupe. Unless it's a convertible. And the reason R&T gets pushback (aside from neglecting the "&Track" half of their masthead) is that the Mustang has always been a coupe, unlike the Thunderbird, which started and ended life as a roadster/sports car.

SUVs are station wagons. They have limited utility and aren't sporty at all. Like "Crossover" it's a marketing term. The DMV still calls them "station wagons" and they're right.
