 I suspect that individual expectation and taste affect other purchases. For another example, I bought my first Corvair impulsively. I wasn't looking for a car and the seller was short of cash. I took to the handling and road feel right away, before I knew much of the Corvair platform's features and foibles.

My purchase of my Corsa went the opposite way. As an engineering student interested in cars, I was very happy that American automotive industry had finally done something more interesting and creative than "engine in front, solid axle rear." And I liked the looks of the 2nd generation Corvairs.
When I could finally afford to buy a car, I actually looked for some used European sports car, but I couldn't find one that was not rusted out or otherwise in bad shape. I did find a good Corvair, and was very happy with my choice.
But regarding "feel," the Corsa was as different from other Detroit offerings as your Pogliaghi was from a Schwinn single speed cruiser. As I've tried (and tried!) to make clear, most of my remarks have been about people judging between two products that are quite similar.
