We all know that a person's car choice will often reflect on their personality. How about we try to do it the other way? I'll give you a description of a person and you'll try to come up with a perfect car for them.
You may post cars that are reasonably within reach for the described person, or ones that aren't but seem like they would suit them perfectly (although I'd prefer you stick to the former choice). Also, try to stick to mass produced cars. I know that hot rods are cool, but I'd rather you keep it within reason.

Person 1:
A man in his mid twenties. He's a massive bloke at 6'7" and very, very buff. His head is shaved clean. He works as a P.E. teacher in middle school and as a gym instructor, but doesn't make a whole lot of money. He's also dabbled in MMA. Socially, he's a very calm and reserved person, who tends to keep to himself. Bodybuilding is his life and he can lift ridiculous weights. He needs a car that will take him to work and to his girlfriend's place. He can drive a manual but doesn't know much about mechanics.
Person 2:
18 year old female, just out of high school. She's quite tall, blonde and considered extremely attractive. She absolutely adores the colour pink and everything that is ridiculously girly and 'cute'. She comes from a moderately well off family and got her first car as a graduation gift; she generally feels very entitled and likes to manipulate guys into buying her gifts. She's a very bad driver that is very easily distracted. She often texts from behind the wheel and has put dings on her car within weeks (and she expect her parents to fix them). She's basically an accident waiting to happen. She's unemployed and doesn't yet know if she'll go to college. She lives with her parents and uses her car for shopping trips with her obnoxious clique. She's completely oblivious about cars and can only use an automatic, but she likes to flaunt her parents' wealth.

Person 2: Beetle. Or a Jeep Wrangler.

Person 1: F-150, 'natch brah. If he was a bit more in-your-face, I'd say Ram. But the F-150 is a bit more calm, collected, and self-assured.
Person 2: Jetta or I go home. (full disclose: hot girlfriend drives a jetta)

Ooooh. I can imagine the hissy fit #2 would throw if you tried stopping her from driving.

Person 1: Something that doesn't make people think he's compensating for something...like this 2000 Mitsubishi Pajero Mini .
Stick shift, 4X4 Hi/Lo-Range, low mileage, low priced ($6,250), road legal, and rugged within a smaller shape...and it's a Japanese import, so it's unique.
The only real obstacle would be to find a mechanic that can fix something like this without causing him to break the bank, if by chance something goes wrong.
Person 2 - For some reason, I didn't think Beetle or Jetta.
Instead, I thought Acura TL.

Person 1: This one is a bit hard because he is both large, but socially reserved. Most cars that work for his size are a bit flashy, and he doesn't have a lot of cash for a "long wheelbase edition" of anything. Because of this, I will give him the gift of an unmolested, unlifted used Ford F250, gas powered if possible. It can be fairly inexpensive, not too flashy and big enough for him.
Person 2: For the princess we need to account for the status symbol of her car, but remember that she WILL wreck it and a new one may be a big deal. Her parents know she is a ticking time bomb so they will drop down a brand and get her a new MINI Countryman. She will love it because its cute and has room for her friends and her shopping bags.
