That being said, the four doors argument is out, because of cars like the Charger/300C. Also FWD is what most automakers have available to work with now days, just like they had RWD back in the 60's, 70's, and mabey into the 80's. So, you can hate my guts all you want, but I call it a muscle car. Kudos to Rick V. for his logical and non aggressive post.

Whoever mentioned the Lacrosse Super: The Lacrosse is based on the same platform so they are not a smaller car as you imply. As for the GP GXP being a muscle car, I wouldn't say they are. They will however whoop on a lot of Mustangs and 300C based cars at the track. So muscle car or not, you still lost to it. Whoever said 0-60 time was 6.7 is confused.

Porsche Cayman, Chevrolet Corvette, Ariel Atom, Ferrari F430, BMW M Coupe/Roadster... those are sports cars. You have... a sporty car at best... perhaps a "sports sedan" if you want to stretch and dilute the title. But please my friend, Toyota Avalon's and RAV-4 put out more more, so the mere fact that it has a supercharger is hardly a qualifier (and even worse being that it's your only one) to warrant it being labeled a sports car. Putting rear seats in a "sports car" no longer makes it a sports car, but a GT car; it's as simple as that. Rear seats compromise performance (through weight and size) in the name of passenger space--that's not very sports car-like at all, is it?

The Trans am just has an aggressive stance and feels powerful whereas the grand prix doesnt now granted the new grand prix does have the horsepower it doesnt have the presence of a muscle car to me. think cadillac cts-v with the new corvette engine, fast yes, comfy and luxurious yes, meets 4 door needs with v8 performance yes, is it muscle no.
