"Soul" is a type of music! If the muffler sounds like its singing James Brown, its got soul :)
Different cars have soul to different people. Someone might say their Camry has soul, which is fair enough, but I don't see it.
My Saab has personality. It growls menacingly at the road when asked, and it holds corners like nobody's business. No other car that I've seen is as unique. It's inside is like a fighter's cockpit, and it makes me one with it. It likes the type of music I like, and doesn't hate on my girlfriend. And, it's my first car. Sure it has expensive taste in food (syn oil and 93oct), but that's forgiveable. I like lobster.
In the summer I can put the top down and cruise around baking in the sun, and in the winter I can travel on roads SUV's dare not take. It is rugged, practical, and stylish. It enjoys going fast, and it enjoys crawling up the side of a mountain 20 miles from the nearest house.
I identify with my Saab, and that is what gives it soul.

And its tail pipe sounds like its singing James Brown. That is all.
