[Mr. Stacy]

I bought a brand new Lincoln MkZ in 2012. AMAZING vehicle. I called it my "decompression chamber". It had every option you can get. It had an amazingly smooth and quiet ride, plenty of acceleration and had a range of 600 miles (38 mpg hybrid). You could change the whole interior color lighting scheme with the on-board systems. Heated and cooled seats... Drove it for three years and not a single issue.

OMG, boring. I COULD NOT WAIT to get rid of that. Even though I was locked in to three years, after two years, I bought the BMW Convertible and the Lincoln didn't get used much.

I LOVED the BMW, it was the polar opposite of the Lincoln, SO FUN to drive. The drop top was amazing. No awkward tonneau covers like the Chevy. But it's small, expensive to have serviced, and absolutely a PITA to work on yourself. It was a constant worry. Waiting for the ELE (End of Life Event). An ELE is when you are hit with a repair bill that costs more than the value of the car. Also, it was on the smaller side. Good for darting around, but otherwise, no respect.

The Camaro has enough luxury features to keep me happy, while still being a blast to drive, and economical to repair and maintain.

I suppose you could compromise with a luxury sports sedan, so your friends can ride with you to the movies, but really? Ever since I was a little kid, I thought sports cars with four doors were odd.

JMHO, YMMV
