What year is your Jetta wagon, and have you had to fix anything on it yet? I'm considering an '03, but very hesitant due to reliability concerns.

What pickup is this? I got the smallest diesel truck I could find in the US; a Dodge Ram 2500 5.9L turbo inline 6. If only they offered the Hilux here... one can dream, one can dream.

Surely you can fathom desiring something solely based on looks. A good 75% of the reason I choose my wife is based on her lines. If she possessed the character and personality most compatible with my ideal, but was not aesthetically pleasing to me, I would never have been inspired to pursue her and make her my wife.
Women typically make "irrational" choices based on appearance and prestige because a large portion of their security and self worth are wrapped up in those seemingly vain attributes. Ask a woman if she would rather be a successful and domineering CEO, or a beautiful princess; most will say the latter.
So in general, it is more important for a woman to be found in something cute and prestigious; with economy and performance being secondary considerations.
