Finally replaced the Camaro

3 SS's · 04-01-2012, 08:34 AM

with this !!! After a 1/2 dozen cars coming & going since the wifes 2002 Pathfinder, it was time for a new DD for her, we kept the Pathfinder for her to use in the snowy ,salty, sandy months...but one of my toys had to go and it wasn't going to be one of the Chevelles

So when I sold the SS last summer this was why, just took us a while to finally decide & pull the trigger.
Did I have a little input on what she should have for a dsaily driver ???? a 330HP X drive coupe with a sport pkg 7 speed with paddle shift option??? , naaaaa, not me

It's a nice car, just not as nice as the Camaro, imo...

justa25thTA · 04-03-2012, 09:10 AM

pretty color, ugly car though

Ignore the naysayers, great looking car and I am sure it is a total blast to drive!

Nice car!

Does it drive like a sports car with firmness or like a Cadi?

Honestly, for me...probably, but the Camaro really isn't user friendly though....yes, i got use to it and loved it, but IMO....not a practical DD at all and definitely not for the wife.

Your opinion, i think it's pretty sharp, but then again I'm not so narrow minded and enjoy the looks of many cars.

Nice & firm, It's got the sports pkg which has suspension, braking & wheel upgrades, amongst other things.... and like the Camaro, your moving along @ 80 before you know it, but the ride is so much different..... just feels right.

Most importantly....she's comfortable in it & loves it, and when the time comes for us both to go out in it, it works for me too.

I'm glad you found a good car for the wife. It's a great color, and it's fast. For your wife to be driving a car that sporty is pretty cool.

Yep...she's a keeper

and like I said in the original post, she's waited long enough.

Not a bad color, but not a fan of the design or interior. Also, I refuse to buy from a foreign automaker. I'm not a big fan of the looks of the G37's compared to the G35's. Either way man congrats!

yeah... I know, but with two Chevelles, a Blazer, Tahoe,Silverado & a Stang in the fleet, I think i've shown my support for american autos
