A lot of people tend to see anything with just 2 doors as a 'sports car', but that doesn't quite work, even though you have people that would cross shop wildly different type of 2 door coupes.

I think the most natural comparison would be something like, say, the Genesis coupe. But for the money you're also competing with the likes of a Mustang or Camaro. While underpowered something like the MIata plays in that field. A few options and a few thousand dollars up and you're looking at an Audi TT, BMW Z4 or even the Cayman. Some even cross shop hot hatches, like the WRX, GTI or Focus ST. Could you put a BMW 2 Series in the mix? Probably. All depends on what moves you with a car like this.
