Exactly! Just like cameras vehicles have fitness for purpose :-)
The Veyron is fit for almost no purpose except, perhaps, as an  
extrovert display of wealth. There are faster cars, if you want a  
sportscar, more comfortable cars if you want a long drive, more  
spacious cars for the family and more polyvalent cars for off and on  
road use.
I also find it ugly, personally.
