Safety regulations have played a huge part in ruining the overall 'feel' of the car. All that stuff comes with a price, obviously - weight. With that said, I like the 370Z because it gives me a stronger emotional response than any other car I've ever driven (granted, I come from Range Rovers and an Audi A4). Maybe my stance will change if I get into a Miata and throw it around a canyon road for a while. But I can't see anything really returning the 'soul' to a car because you have to wrap it up in so much bubble wrap
