Character and performance are two different things. Do you seriously think we'd all be in love with 70's, 80's and some 90's Toyota's purely because of their performance?
If I were a perfectionist looking at a Veyron from an engineering point of view I'd be absolutely blown away, but I'm not. Supercars like the Veyron are pretty much a status thing and that's not what I'm about, so to me they aren't all that appealing.
Give me a z10 Soarer and a workshop over a Veyron anyday.
