It's not like the mastery of technique is lost on me... one of my favourite videos I ever watched on YouTube is how Lexus crafts the wooden steering wheel for their LS sedan.

Nevermind the fact this car was styled by an American white woman, not a Japanese person... which pretty much invalidates everything you just said.
So in your definition, cars like Ferrari Enzo, Dodge Viper, etc. do not have soul because they were designed by Japanese people.

Just because the car has same name and different look, doesn't mean they don't have soul.

Mustang and Camaro from 60s and 90s are completely different. Same as Corvette.
