Yes - if one purchases their car based solely on the car's performance, which I stipulate can only be determined using measured criteria, then how the car makes them feel shouldn't matter. And in fact, one would choose a minivan over a 930 targa if the van was of higher performance.
I also said "If you want a fun/sporting car, then the subjective qualities come into play", which I think is essentially your point. Someone who is willing to give up some performance in order to have an extra measure of feel/feedback/engagement/whatever with the car should certainly have the benefit of choice. It would be nice to be able to choose between DCT and stick, hydraulic and electric steering, A/C vs. none, leather and cloth, etc, etc, etc. Let those who care about that last bit get the hard-core car, while others get exactly what they want. Doesn't fit into any maker's business model though... Maybe Porsche to a certain extent, but then there's the 991 GT3...
