In the literal sense, no car has either personality or soul. They are simply a bucket of bolts. We imagine they have personality or soul.

I think that it is more appropriate to make a distinction between "reliable" cars and "fun" cars. Toyota and Honda build reliable cars. That is why so many people buy them. Which is fine. I have driven some "fun" Japanese cars. The Miata and the old Datsun "Z" cars were "fun" cars. OTOH - every Toyota I've driven has been boring!

I have owned a number of German cars, and now an 850. Granted they are generally more expensive to maintain than most Japanese cars. But what they all have in common is that they offer a level of driver involvement that most, if not all, Japanese cars can't touch. They communicate what they are doing at all times with the driver. They are "fun" to drive. In essence, they are driver's cars and most Japanese cars are not.

Me, I'll take fun..:)

But to each his own.......
