Sports Model

What are the defining characterists of one?

Do you mean, what are the defining characteristics of a "sports car"? Or are you asking about what defines, say a Jeep Cherokee Sport as opposed to a Jeep Cherokee. (which would fit with "sports model," but not "sports car") Maybe your question is simple and it's just too early for my brain to be functioning...

I think it differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. With a Mercedes, they just slap on some larger wheels and a body kit. WIth BMWs, it generally wheels, body kit, and some suspension upgrades. It really depends on who makes the car.

You're all prolly gonna get a chuckle out of this, I drive a 94 ford escort wagon. I bought it used, it doesn't really have many bells and whistles but acording to my insurance and the VIN look up classification its a sports model. I was just wondering WTH is sports or sporty about it. Unless manual trans can be attributed to it but I wouldn't think so.
