Study shows that flashy spending may work for the short term but not for
marriage
According to the researchers, women found a man who chose to purchase a
flashy luxury product (such as a Porsche) more desirable than the same man
who purchased a non-luxury item (such as a Honda Civic).

Wealthy shoppers don't want flashy logos anymore.
On a sunny May morning in New York’s upscale Fifth Avenue retail corridor,
Carron Ryan stopped to admire a diamond-encrusted Van Cleef & Arpels
necklace in the window of the Bergdorf Goodman department store. Louis
Vuitton’s sprawling flagship store was right across the street, but she
turned her nose up at its lineup of logo-stamped satchels and tote bags.

最近比较了一下2013的ford explorer和2012的enclave
觉得总体上还是enclave好，确实安静宽敞，开起来也平稳
新的explore在电子设备上面比较潮，flashy，感觉要先进一点。
但是内部有点局促不是那么宽敞，开起来也没有enclave安静平稳，不过听说新的
explore算crossover，买得很好
至于保养起来和可靠性，就不知道这两个车和日车比起来怎么样了
对于日车，还想去看看mdx和pilot，感觉上mdx有一点点小，但是口碑好像特别好

2. 和老婆商量好了这辈子绝对不买日车，日托们看到这可以离开了。

4. 最好SUV, 对VAN实在无感
5. 加速不用太好，不是太差就行
6. 可靠性不要太差，自己动手能力一般，小修可以，大修够呛。
7. 预算有限，最好4万刀以内。
试车前先研究了一下，符合以上条件的基本上就是Explorer, XC90, Enclave及其两个
兄弟, Durango, 以及Santa Fe. 我现在开07 Santa Fe, 想换别的开所以现代就排除了
