187:. The first shows that the CCR is still classed as a supercar (and why not?? I personally don't understand the discussion, surely supercar is as important a category as "luxury", "family", "sports" and such like?), and the second relates to the category of supercars being protected for 2 weeks until the discussion has concluded. Therefore until the decision to delete the article definition, I think that the CCX should retain its category, hence why I reverted your edit. Surely in your own mind (forgetting the subjective discussion) the CCX embodies everything about a supercar?? the high cost, the exotic non-mass produced materials, the exclusivity, the performance, the aesthetics, the badge...?

its simple enough to define those attributes? So, all we have to do is draw the line! and that can only be done by comparing the cars on a scale, with definable attributes, much like the ones already answered. you cant just delete a category because you dont know where to draw the line. so how about leaving the supercar description?

I do agree that the CCR/CCX is a supercar in my mind. However the problem is with the fringe cars. Do you classify an F430 as a supercar? A Corvette Z06? Ford
Mustang Cobra? You have to draw the line somewhere and no one agrees on where that line should be drawn. A consensus has already been

Hi again, Deltasquared. Jayron kinda explained the situation rather well - you're caught in a hard block of quite a few thousand IP addresses associated with your ISP in your region. It's a case of one or two vandals spoiling things for everyone. I've gone ahead and contacted ArbCom and the other
