LOL, do you really think so Martin? .........I know sometimes my tastes can be a little eccentric ...but generally I think I'm pretty mainstream ......you are correct though, I do put perhaps too much emphasis on the "visual appeal"

In my mind, it's not just the form that exudes charisma

I would entirely agree with this Martin, however, it is still of enormous importance to me personally that I love the way a car looks and feels (it's tactility) -- if I am to be emotionally engaged with any car, it also must stimulate my aesthetic sensibilities.

On the other end of the scale, a Carrera GT is another prime example; mediocre looks, oodles of charisma.
BMW 635csi ........450 SLC convertible. A Lambo Miura ......What about a Zonda

Well I ceretainly agree with you here that all of these have charisma.
BTW, thanks for the "besotted king" comment ...but I certainly would not claim that title alone -- there are several members here who have a very keen sense of aesthetics and a very good eye for design and beauty.
