The most obvious choice for this would be the famed, anamorphic,  Volkswagon Beetle Herbie, aptly called The Love Bug. The original Love Bug movie was filmed by Disney in 1968 and has produced a total of four movies (one in 2005 with Lindsay Lohan) a made for TV movie and even its own TV show.  In theory, Herbie was called the Love Bug because he actively conspired to bring the movies lead actor into a romance with the lead actress. Clever right? However, we think it is also because America as a whole fell in love with this car as the Love Bug movie was a smash hit in the box office.  Is a VW Beetle romantic? More like cute, but it could work under the right circumstances. At Ford Service Omaha you will find a great deal.

How about a truck for romance? Before you laugh think about it. First of all, it is pretty common for a girl to sit in the middle seat, right next to her special somebody, and leave the passenger seat open. Sweet isn’t it? But there is more. If you clear the beer cans out of the back you can use it for some creative dating. Pack a picnic, some camping gear and using the trucks off road capabilities, head off into the mountains for a getaway. Best of all, lay in the back of the bed at night and watch the shooting stars cross the sky. Laugh now, but she will love it.

Maybe you want something less country. How about a motorcycle? It has attitude and an element of danger, and let’s face it, girls love that stuff.  Best of all, if you ride it together, she has to put her arms around you and hold you tight. Not a bad deal at all.

Lastly, how about a classic car? Sure they are probably pricey or it will take a lot of fixing up, but a classic Ford or Chevy from the 50’s practically screams “date me.” A vintage Chevy Bel Air or Ford Thunderbird has class and nostalgic romance all rolled into one. Drive to the beach, get a burger and shake and watch the sun set.  There you go, the car can get you started, now the rest is up to you.

Well now that Diesel gas prices have fallen below the price of unleaded gas; it seems that feelings have changed.  Yeah I call these people bandwagoners!  Nevertheless Volkswagen has noticed a nice increase in Diesel sales over last year’s numbers.

The Jetta TDI is one hot new diesel car.  All things aside the mere fact that this car gets an EPA estimated 41 MPG on the highway is a great selling point!  And this number it would seem is a bit shy of the 50-60 miles per gallon that commuters have been experiencing.  Nevertheless the diesel model tends to get more than 40% better fuel economy than the 2.5-liter model.

The coolest thing about the TDI is the Turbo Power you get.  Turbo technology is the wave of the future and Volkswagen has been on the cutting edge for years now.  This particular car puts out a respectable 140 horsepower but a pavement pounding 271lb-ft of torque which is exactly what is need to get up to highway speeds!  The Jetta TDI also has the smallest Carbon Footprint of any of the Jetta models.  Yes this diesel is the cleanest Volkswagen on the road.  Isn’t it ironic, don’t you think? The 2009 Jetta TDI also offers all the bells and whistles such as airbags, navigation, a great sound system, power everything, and pretty much everything you would want in a mid-sized car.  Now the TDI model does cost about two-thousand more than the base model but you will get a nice rebate from Uncle Sam to help close that gap a bit!

Right now as it stands Diesel gas is about $0.15 cheaper than regular unleaded gas!  So driving a regular 2.5 liter Jetta will cost you about $1700 in gas every 15k miles while the diesel TDI will only cost $1150.  So if gas prices remain constant you can save more than a few hundred dollars in gas just in one short year!
