Well, this is a fun thread. I never thought there would be so much diversity in how people classify this genre of game.
For my part I like driving games or racing games as an overall category. Where it gets complicated is the sub genres, but it does not have to.
If we think of the sub genres as tags, a game could belong to multiple genres at the same time. If we think of how many games approach driving, it kinda sets us free to get really specific.
@megalomaniac you asked what 2.5D is. Well in the animation industry in which I work, 2.5D refers to working in 3D space with only flat 2D objects. Think of it as moving flat cards around. They can rotate like any 3D object could, but at some point it becomes obvious that it is flat. Sometimes that is a look one is going for, but most often not.
