You can't put a price on character!

Isn't that the truth.

It's often been said that machines that "look right" usually "work right" and this is another example. Form and function, but more than that IMHO: I think many of us instinctively and sometimes even unknowingly respond to shapes that just "look right".

Then we get into the interesting question of whether our instinct for form can actually correspond to the engineering imperatives of design. When it does you get instinctive engineers like Ettore Bugatti who had no formal training, but who simply had an instinct for both form and the mechanical aspects of design. It is an approach that has led to many failures I'm sure, but then purely "book" engineering seems to have led to plenty as well!

Ramble on, ramble off.
