^would you call an slk a sportscar?
for me, a sportscar has to be focused on performance. the mx5 is just a fun car to drive, but no way hardcore enough to be labelled a sportscar
like the S2000, that is in my eyes a sportscar
It doesn't need to be focused or hardcore if it's good at it. The Miata/MX-5 is good enough at being a performance car (handling-wise, at least) that it doesn't need to be Elise- or even S2000-level hardcore; the SLK, on the other hand, is just a soft cruiser and isn't a sports car.
