A part of it is the way a car looks and smells and feels and sounds. Like C900 convertibles as an example. They have a wonderful organic smell and they sound like an old Chris Craft, and the view out the windshield is like no other car. But it's also about the delicate interaction of throttle response and clutch and shifter. It's about the feel of the steering and suspension and brakes. Even the knobs and switches play a role. There's even an undefinable element that's impossible to put your finger on. Oddly performance and handling play less of a role than one might thing--I can think of a lot of fast, good handling cars that are real zeros when it come to personality.
