It's actually a bit ironic, because I consider Ferrari to build elegant cars while my old V8 Dodge is a triumph of brute force and ignorance. They're both great cars at opposite ends of the spectrum :-)

A variation on the sentiment I heard in a movie: "turbochargers are for wussies, real cars have cubic inches!"

Elegant doesn't always go with optimized aerodynamics.
