Obviiously I dispute that "enthusiasts" don't drive sedans. Just look at
the Mk2 Jaguar/ Daimler following in the UK and Australasia. Also many
"enthisiasts" use their cars enthusiasticly every time they have to use a
car for transport. I think the North Americans just have a different
perception of what an enthusiast is. But lets not get off on that thread.
