only until the last 50-60 years were passionate road cars ever made after the following of grass roots dirt racing. IE drags, rallies, and forumla 1 were all from the backwaters and raced by the shittiest of automobiles with virtually no sense of engineering.
Cars started with passion? in what sense? maybe for designing engineers like Enzo after the birth of motorsports. Cant say the same about nissan, honda, toyota. Even mitsubishi's was a by product of the Ford Mass production vehicle.

Are yo sure about that?
Did you know that Sochiro Honda (the founder of Honda) was a mechanic who raced cars and enjoyed tuning (PASSION) them?
Yes, all these companies instituted efficient production techniques at one point another using Ford as guidance, but their reason for getting into the business is not as cut and dry as you would like to believe.
