Ask HN: Can Software Be as Aesthetic as Cars?

I was talking with my friend once about the difference between cars and computers (specifically ricing), in that people tend to have a natural awe of "good looking" cars, even going beyond the actual specs of the engine, brakes, aero, etc. Youc an see this in articles like https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2004/nov/13/motoring.automotive.

However, we don't see this same reaction to software. As engineers we appreciate software that's well designed, but it doesn't seem to invoke the same primal feeling as cars.

What are your thoughts on this? Is it possible for software to have the same effect on people as cars?
