	This is a very scary statement, insurance-wise!  I've already seen the 
difference in price between a company which considers Prudence to be a sports 
car and one which doesn't.  I don't like the idea of _all_ companies going 
pricey on me!  But Paul's right, if the newest MX-5 is supposed to be a MX/RX 
hybrid, they (the evil insurance empire) may take that as an opportunity to 
re-class the car.

	Does anyone know of any other "sports-cars" that are classed 
differently by year at the insurance companies?  Can we be saved?
