Hm.
Seems to me a sports car is far less comfortable and far less economical than something smaller. Who wants to be beat to death by stiff suspension and twitchy steering on a basic commute? Who wants to deal with a heavy clutch in traffic when they can have a nice slushbox?
Seems to me if they're not using the performance all the time, they're just poseurs out for the "trendiness" of driving a sporty car. Anyone who drives anything more than a Tata Nano or Yamaha Zuma 50 is a poseur, because they're just not using the vehicle's capabilities.

In every sports car/performance car I've ever owned, I "used" its performance every time I drove it. "Using" its performance doesn't mean going WOT or hitting 1.0 G every single second. It means that I can feel in my own hands that it handles & steers better than the average car.
And as for stiff ride? Vastly preferable, IMO, to a mushy, floaty-feeling car.
With your argument I guess you should never have got into sportbikes......Yet you did. Does that mean you're a poseur?
