The Mercedes 540k gets my vote. One of my All time favorite cars. Also, the abuggati 57c Atlantic is lovely one too

Classic cars are okay... but don't do it for me. To me they look like hot rods, just not a huge fan. Not that they don't deserve admiration, as they paved the way for the products we have now. But soul in cars for me is more modern for me. In the vechicles available now. I guess the rest have gone to heaven in my book.

One car line that I always thought had a special personality (though I'm not sure if you can call it "soul") were the Plymouth Road Runner muscle-cars....especially in purple and lime-green. The bird-cartoon graphics and "beep-beep" horn were just dynamite....I thought it was one of the best auto-graphic jobs I ever saw in the car industry. Outside of the durable engines and Torque-Flite automatic transmissions, though, I won't give you much, though, for the general build-quality and fit/finish on those cars...both were just atrocious.

I own an E28 M5. I haven't driven it in a few years, but man that thing has soul in spades. It's lightly modded but my GS350 is still probably quicker 0-60.

Doesn't matter, the M5 is 10x the fun.

well yes, but i think there's things we can agree on.

cars with soul we want to talk about, and they evoke some emotion other than boredom.
