I've ridden in $100,000 purpose built Pro-Touring cars that couldn't get out of their own way on an autocross course yet my sub $20,000 Pro-Touring car does very well at autocross. I don't see how that distinction proves anything one way or the other on what to call either one of them.

I do think there is a difference on whether a car of this type is built to handle or built to look like it handles though, and putting one on a course or track to verify with a stopwatch is a sure and safe way to find out.
