She buys big tall and luxurious. Usually we pick up a 100k no deductible warranty and dump them when they run out.

Couple years ago she had a cls for short time and hated it. Too short no sedans for her. If we don't find one she likes off the shelf then I guess it's buy the platform and build her another super fancy conversion van.

Here's a question: Does your wife care about reliability or just what feels good and looks good?

I have long been intrigued by the factors that motivate people to buy the vehicles that they buy. Is that an emotional decision or a financial one?

If you can get her past the whole mini-van stigma thing she would probably LOVE an Odyssey. They have good power, car like handling, and nice interiors.
