The idaho statesman newspaper (in the cars section) defines these three as follows
no potato jokes please!
SPORT COUPES AND CONVERTIBLES
A hardtop and convertible with two or four seats. Sporty styling distinguishes
this from a family car, but outstanding performance is not mandatory.
HIGH-PERFORMANCE CARS
A car whose primary mission is �go,� not �show.� It may look great and have
its share of comfort features, but speed and power are its glory.
EXOTIC CARS
A car that is high-priced and produced in limited numbers. Sexy styling, a
potent engine and an unusual design are other key elements.
