Thanks! I appreciate the responses, I've been having a rather in depth discussion over on Ferrarichat.com, and you all confirming what's been coming up there.

What I've gathered (please correct me if I'm wrong) is that its not really the price or the performance (for the most part) in choosing an exotic, but its the subjective values of the cars (i.e. sound, exterior design, "soul"-as was mentioned above, heritage, etc). Is it those things that make these cars more valuable?
