Mazda Motor Corp will recall about 70,000 of its RX-8 sports cars from model years 2004 to 2008 in the United States because of an issue with fuel pump sealing rings that may leak and catch fire, U.S. safety regulators said on Tuesday.

    In my day a four door car would have been called a sedan, not a sports car... the English language is changing too fast for me.

    Two doors do not a sports car make I think. The word for a two-door is coupé, and I believe the distinction between coupé and sedan is entirely orthogonal to the distinction between sports cars and regular cars. There are such things as sports sedans, e.g. the BMW M5, Lotus Cortina, and the Dodge Charger, and plenty of coupés that are clearly not sports cars, e.g. some models of the Ford P7, BMW E46, and the Cadillac Coupé de Ville.
