@grislybutter You have to make it shiny to sell it. Cars are the same way. The Italians know that better than anyone. Everything is a matter of style. Appearances.
Ferrari has a history of making some really awful cars, but they have standing because of style like the Testarossa, one of the most functionally awful cars I have ever driven. The Berlinetta Boxer is another beautiful, awful car. The new ones are much better due to CAD. I could run circles around those cars with 911s of the same period.
