So, I recall the 510 (eventhough I was born in '79) because my dad is a car nut. The 510's are pretty cool...but I must say, with all due respect, that both the BMW 2002 and Alfa Romeo GTV of the same era were the front-runners in style.
And the GTV was designed, and built, in Italy.
And the muscle cars from the american past had soul (and insatiable gas appetites!).
If a car is simply a means of getting from point A to B, then no soul is needed. I saw a BMW ad that said..."Happiness is not just around the corner.....Happiness IS the corner." A car that can justify that statement (or others like it) has soul.
My $0.02.

Oh, and I'm mostly Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, Nitrogen...you get the picture.)
