Well a lot of thoughts here, touching briefly on quality of the female form then the Katherine's (Zeta Jones and Jenkins) take some beating, go back a little further for the likes of Diana Rigg and the many finishing schooled ladies of that time.
Looking the part doesn't always do it, pleasant voice, deportment etc are important to the overall air of quality.
Anyway back to quality in cars.
I regard a car as quality if it performs it's function well overall for an extended period of time, if the interior falls apart or it suffers premature failure of components then all the expensive fitments in the world won't convince me of quality regardless of how much the thing costs or how long the spec list.
Price really doesn't come into it, if i spend 7 grand on a new car i don't expect deep pile carpets and walnut veneer dasboard, i do expect that car to be totally reliable comfortable and durable for a reasonable life term...if it does that then it's a reasonable quality car imo.
If i spend 30 grand and the Wilton, walnut and Connolly leather stay prime and the rest of the car performs as well for that same life term then it too is a quality car, but no better quality than the 7 grander as my expectations of luxury were lower.
Some very expensive cars do have a high failure rate for mechanical and electronic parts, i can't regard them as quality if the most beautiful interiors and fantastic performance are marred by failure of other parts, often the toys but increasingly often important mechanical parts and electronics.
I suppose then every part of a car has to perfrom well and be durable to convince me of quality.
