Is there a car that is clearly worse (be it in power, bang-for-buck, age of the project, usw.) than it's competitors but that you rather have just because it looks nicer or it makes you feel different? To keep things interesting tell me in the answer not only what car but also what makes it worse and what makes it special.

Disclaimer: I am still slightly drunk from today's barbecue, so writing mistakes and confusing sentences will happen, be polite.

The Challenger in any V8 form.

I'm so glad there's another person that likes the Challenger. There's a huge following for the Camaro and Mustang at my old high school and whenever I say that I'd still take the Challenger, they raise up like less power and heavier and stuff. I just like the shape of the Challenger the most.

Aston Martins.

There are cheaper cars.

There are better looking cars

There are better sounding cars.

There are faster cars.

But.

When even Premier League Footballers can't damage the reputation of the brand, you know you truly have something special.

Funny you should ask, as I've just been completing my weekly search for an Alfa Romeo GTV6 or Milano (75).

There's no rational reason to own one when cars like the BMW E21 or E30, MBZ 190E, Porsche 944 etc do all the same things with less fuss & expense, but still I search.

They're harder to work on and harder to get parts for in the US, with recalcitrant transaxles, inboard rear brakes, a silly multipiece thermostat housing, explode-O-matic & NLA driveline couplers, "good enough" electricals & laughable rust prevention. But when they're right they're wonderful, and the balance, steering, and that sweet, sweet Busso V6 song mitigate all of the problems.

Late 90's and early 2000's ram pick-ups. Loved the brash style and engines, but everyone else's trannys were so much better.
