Of course, most spouses will see clear through such shallow attempts at reconciliation. (We're only considering spouses who can be bought, here.) Ashton Kutcher, for example, opted for a big, Lexus hybrid sedan. The symbolism isn't bad — it implies new-found stability while appealing to Ms. Moore's green-tinted, raw-food-eating proclivities.

Did it work? Nah. Why? Because it's all about him. Ol' Ash should have opted for a car model onto which she could project her own self-image. Hard to say what that might be, but we've seen some of her movies, and we're going with the CLK 63 AMG Black Series. She's that angry.
