My only complaint with this article is the authors apparent belief that any of this matters. The author never really defends calling a Mustang a sedan, a label I find ridiculous. A sedan has four doors and a useful back seat.

We can solve all of this by adding more categories. Given an option of muscle car, the Mustang fits comfortably there. Don't want to call it a sports car? That's fine. Call it a muscle car. Big engine, obsolete suspension, roars when you step on it and goes in a straight line like a rocket? Muscle car.
