To me, it's the quality of the materials used. At first sight, especially in photos, everything can look great.

I agree with Dr Wot, I like that plot. And that is why I also drive an S2000.
Spyker - bottom right corner
S2000 - just into the upper right
Ferrari 360 - three quarter way into upper right
Cayenne Turbo - half way into upper right
But the Spyker has No Plastic anywhere in sight. Think old Bugatti......
For the rest I can quote PedalFaster: Tactile feel -- how switches engage, how surfaces feel when you run your hands over them, how much the steering wheel leather gives when you grasp it, whether you touch any seams or molding flashes when you grasp any of the controls -- play a huge part in how I perceive a car's interior quality.
I always thought that the Spyker interior was way over the top, and would never have chosen ruby-red. But I learned to appreciate it, and now I'm totally used to it.

Lots of cows intended for leather production (not just Rolls Royce, just about any leather product you want unblemished with scars) are ranched in areas without any sort of barbed wire.

"Each Phantom has 400 pieces of leather in it for the upholstery and trim using 17 to 18 hides per car. The leather comes from German Bavarian bulls, as they are larger, or sometimes from other bulls reared in Argentina or South Africa. A little known fact is that Rolls-Royce leather craftsmen only use bull hide, hide from cows they consider is of no use because it contains stretch marks!"

I think that it is ironic that Rolls Royce is now owned by BMW. BMW has succeeded in developing a pathetic design language not only for one, but for two well respected marques. Maybe BMW will buy up Ferrari and put 50's style rear wings on them.
