Simple, an engine that is too small for the vehicle and an absolute bastard to work on (compared to an American engine), reasonable handling (unlike any American vehicle), well located switches, gearstick etc. (unlike any European vehicle), beautiful body work, soft suspension and with plenty of dead trees and dead animal skins in the interior. But most importantly an undefinable 'soul'.
