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.

Let's get started.
Person 1:
A retired man in his 70's who's been a physical worker all his life, he's 6'0" tall. He lives with his also retired wife in their small town house on a rather big patch of land. They have some savings that help them along money-wise. He's capable mechanically but doesn't really follow current trends in terms of technology, he can drive a manual. Even though he's not a youngster anymore he does like to get his hands dirty from time to time and do some jobs around his property. He needs a car that will take him to the shop for groceries but also something he can bring some firewood in.
Person 2:
An attractive 21 year old woman, 5'2" tall, blonde hair. She studies law at an university and is a daughter to rich business owner parents, but is not spoiled. She's used to working at her parents' business and even doing some of the more labour intensive jobs (like merchandise deliveries). She still lives with her parents and they do help her along. She's not mechanically inclined but can drive a manual and has driven a wide variety of cars in her life (from passenger cars to commercial vans). She needs a car that will get her across town to university every day and will allow her to run errands. Doesn't mind girly cars.

Person 1 gets a Cadillac ATS. Comfortable ride with enough trunk space to move some firewood around.
Person 2 gets something nice, but probably beige. Lexus is a Toyota and Toyota is reliable. Person 2 gets an IS250.

Person 1 sounds like a F-100 kind of guy to me. I'd do it myself even though I'm not a 70 year old retiree.
Person 2, 90's Miata because I always thought it just looked darn adorable.

It is true of the first one. The second one gets a marginal pass.

Person 1: 1994 Chevy S-10 extended cab 4x4
It has a big enough cab for two people and plenty of space for groceries behind the seat. With 4wd, he can get around his property easily. The bed is big enough to haul a nice load of firewood.
Person 2: Ford Focus hatchback
Stylish while still having room for her deliveries and getting good fuel economy.

That's a late 80s Suburban man right there.
I've known several of these, the vast majority if which have driven white Jettas.

1. I think everyone's got it wrong. An old man who's worked hard his whole life will buy himself a present. And that, sir, would be a Cadillac.
I'll go for an STS. He can put the firewood on a blanket in the trunk...
Oh, and if this was a European old man, he unfortunately won't get himself a present. He'll want something frugal and cheap, and for him the firewood comes before luggghhhzhury. So a Dacia Logan it is...
And 2. is a VW Polo
