When they say "class", Pontiac can define whatever "class" it wants. Conveniently, they decide to leave the TL and Maxima out of the class...

The GTP is the top model in the Grand Prix lineup but it's more in line with the the Accord EX V6 or Altima 3.5 SE, not the TL or Maxima. The Bonneville competes against the Maxima, TL, etc.

The G35/Skyline sedan is not a sports car. It is a sport sedan along the lines of a BMW.

You can get away with that if you define the class.

I have the most powerful ITR in its class.

I define its class as a mildly modified OEM motor with a Hondata tuned by Steve Sakai and SMSP front to rear. See how it works?
