    "Nice car, sporty looking, she must be quick?"
    "Not really, it's a 1.2"

    S/R-line, M sport, etc. A triumph of style over substance.

    In my opinion.

    Combination of "sporting" and "1.2" mentioned by OP brings me this to mind:

    would a 1.6 be sporty enough?

    That's all F1 have after all...

    Some people buy things because they like the look of them.

    Sure with the way it's going 1.2 will be considered a huge engine soon.

    And that's why I don't watch F1 anymore. Overblown, weedy, reedy Priuses, overtaking by pressing a button, destroyed and chocked to death by regulation and as soon as anything like racing happens (i.e. 2 cars come within 5 meters of each other), steward's inquiry, bans, penalties, etc...
    In a few year's time the cars will be remote controlled and the drivers will sit in a room with game controllers.
    There was a time when an F1 car was a tiny little tin can with an engine that could be heard miles away and the winner was whoever had the biggest balls and made it first across the line.
