Most men have tried to persuade their significant other to stay with them through a grand gesture, but "Two and a Half Men" star Ashton Kutcher recently put everyone else to shame in a last-ditch effort to stay married to wife Demi Moore. Sources close to the actor say he bought Moore a 2012 Lexus 600h about two weeks before she announced they were getting divorced, celebrity gossip website TMZ.com reports.

The lavish present was for Demi's birthday and turned out to be a gift that fell flat. It's an impressive car nonetheless. The hybrid Lexus is not only a top-of-the-line luxury car but it gets about 22 miles per gallon around the city, which is no small feat for the powerful ride.

Although Kutcher is the latest celebrity to give an extravagant ride as a gift, he certainly is not the only one. Luxury cars are often one of the most popular presents that celebrity couples choose to give each other – though maybe for better reasons than trying to save a marriage.

According to MSN Cars, one of the most impressive vehicles given as a gift lately was the Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport that Beyonce gave husband Jay-Z for his 41st birthday in 2010. The convertible, often regarded as one of the best sports cars in the world, cost an estimated $1.8 million.

Of course, it's not always couples bestowing lavish rides on each other. Adam Sandler gave David Spade, Chris Rock, Kevin James and Rob Schneider each a Maserati Quattroporte for their work on his movie "Grown Ups."

Celebrity car watchers should be on the lookout in the coming weeks as the holiday season will likely see some big gifts.
