As long as youre 1000% sure it'd be what he wants, pull the trigger!
My fear is he has his eye on something else.
I mean... my girlfriend bought me a fitted hat for my birthday and I wanted a snapback... that's a $30 purchase and I was feeling somewhat ungrateful (I know, stupid). So think how he'd feel on a $25,000 purchase if it wasn't exactly what he wanted (ie what if he wants the manual, or the mazda 3 a little more)
Maybe a car buying day. Take him out, bond with your brother and pops, and let him pick out the one he wants. Then let him go home drink a few beers, and wait while you do all the haggling, hassling, and wheeler dealing. Put a big bow on the car all "wifey style" and call it a day. It may not feel as spontaneous but it will, long term, feel better for him. (This is analogous to how I give my gf a shopping spree on her birthday so I don't get her the wrong thing god forbid!)
Just my $0.02 !!
