Well "car guys" actually like to drive, and all accounts are that the Veyron is rather one-dimensional........In other words it's fast, but its heavy weight prevents it from being tossed around as much as a McLaren or something like that. Plus the front end styling leaves a lot to be desired IMO.
Also, it isn't hard to build an intake manifold that's nice to look at. Or tubular exhaust headers for that matter. Most Ferrari and Alfa Romeo engines look great.
The only reason most manufacturers don't bother making their engines look nice anymore is because they cover it with those stupid plastic shrouds.
