Most modern sports cars regardless of price lack personality and emotion, going very fast with little drama. Now get in a Lamborghini Countach. The sound, no power steering, heavy clutch and shifter. The looks, the doors, the smell. The overall effort to drive the car - that is an enjoyable driving experience. At least for me.
