>All this talk about Karmann Ghias as "real sportscars"

The Ghia is not a sportscar. Neither are Corvettes, Trans Ams, Vipers or
Nissan 300ZXs (and the only car mentioned here with any sportiness, or any
pretension to handling ability at all, is Japanese). They are what can be
called "personal coupes".

A sportscar is a Porsche, MR2, NSX or Countach etc. Or (yech) MG or Lotus.
