	Car classification - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Car classification is a somewhat subjective subject, as many vehicles fall between classes or even outside all of them.
		Compact cars are usually referred to the longest hatchbacks or the smallest family cars.
		The Muscle car is a peculiarly American type of sports car, popular from the 1960s until a combination of spiralling insurance costs and the 1973 energy crisis largely killed off the category.

	Family car - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A family car is a car classification used in Europe to describe normally-sized cars.
		In North America, which uses a different classification system, cars of this size are generally referred to as compact cars, and the term "family car" is almost never used to describe a vehicle in this class.
		Equivalently sized cars in North America are usually called mid-size cars; the term "family car" is fairly often used to refer to a vehicle in this class.

		The 1973 oil crisis forced buyers to choose more economical, less powerful, lighter cars, The first successful compact hatchback in Europe was the 1971 Fiat 127, which was a strong seller in Italy but struggled to find homes elsewhere because it had such a notorious reputation for being rust-prone.

	Forza Motorsport Forums - The car classification system
		Well, since you mentioned street, street prepared etc, it sounds like you were reading the SOLO car classifications, which is autocross, which is not only boring but not very representative of a cars performance on a race track.
		As well, if the SCCA classifications are anything like the classifications in Canada, they aren't based on the potential of the car, but rather how well the car does now, which is highly driver dependent.
		Sure some car will be better on some track because of the way they're running, but there is not supposed to have a 4 seconde difference in car of the same class.

		Yes, some want their cars moved, and some want others cars moved but I think most of the membership just wants to know that their car is in a particular class, to understand why it is in that class, and to know that their car will remain in that class.
		If we were to begin the whole car classification process with a set of criteria that is applied to each car, it would be a good start.
		Certain cars are simply better than the sum of their parts, and it's awfully hard to quanatatively take that into consideration...on the other hand, some cars are less than the sum of their parts.

	2003 Toyota Matrix XRS Road Test Review - Sport Compact Car Magazine
		Both were styled at Toyota's CALTY design studio; both share the same brake system, down to the rotor size and caliper design; and both use almost identical front suspension designs, sharing geometry with changes to handle the Matrix's extra mass.
		Unlike the Celica, however, the Matrix is classified as a mid-size car by its interior volume and listed as a small station wagon by the EPA.
		As it is, when you roll into the power in second gear from low speed the car doesn't really accelerate until 47 mph--the speed the cam switches over in second gear.
