You don't have to appreciate it, but the engineering of these cars are not orthodox, yet they're daily driveable cars unlike the cars in their own class, e.g. Ferrari, Maserati, et. al.

The thinking out of the box, and evolution instead of revolution makes them extraordinary. Personally, I prefer the looks of Porsches to any other car.

However, would I go great lengths to own one? I'm not sure.

You can admire something without going crazy about it or define yourself via it.

If we're going to "shame" companies about doing things between 1930-1940, the list will be much longer and multi-national.
