I don't see sport cars anymore

submitted by Conspirologist to cars 1 dayJun 19, 2025 08:11:31 ago (+1/-1)     (cars)

In the last years I've only met a Mustang, a few Honda Civic, a few Audi TT, an Alfa Romeo 4C. A couple of Ferrari, a few Porsche 911, Boxter, Panamera. I think that's all. Now all the cars are SUV crossovers. Looks like the sport cars market in EU is dying, or is already dead.

When I was young, there were a lot of sport cars on the streets, especially in the Club's parkings.

You still see a lot of miatas in the USA and you see a lot of the new Corvettes. I'm not sure that you can't qualify a lot of these Tesla's at sports cars because people are buying them partly because they accelerate so quickly so I think you really have to consider a Tesla sports car these days.

Miatas/MX-5s have gotten too big imo. They're now built on the RX-8 chassis. My ex had an 03'. Stupid fun car to drive. Like a go cart.

I saw a Porshe SUV. Good for outrunning soccarmoms U guess.

The same is true in the USA

Less young single men with money is my guess. Because those used to be the people who bought them

There's just not much of a demand. The ones that want sports cars want it to be pushing 800+hp which, frankly prices a lot of people out. At the same time it limits what a manufacturer is able to provide.

Everyone buys those stupid cross over things. Past a Volvo dealership and it was basically all that was on the lot.

Station wagons are gone. Minivans are pretty much gone.

Also, maintaining a sports car is proper work. It's not like a civic where you can skip things.

The other day I passed a huge line of Lamborghini's, Porsche and a few that I don't even know wtf was. They were doing some kind of ride together. There were about 20+ cars.

There’s always Bernie sanders
In his $200k + Audi R8 (or whatever it was ).
Simping for other people’s money is a lucrative business for some
