Enjoy raising your children and driving your Honda Minivan for the next 20 years. It's a rite-of-passage. When you come back to the Camaro fold in 20 years, who knows what the 8th Gen will look like!

I saw that earlier today!! What

!!! Understandable but taken too far in some cases!! Just my 0.02!

PatsRS · 07-27-2011, 05:19 PM

So what is the question? Should you have kids or should you look for a used Cadillac CTS?
Keep the camaro buy a small SUV. DO NOT BUY A MINIVAN!!!
Go forth and multiply.

I'm getting married this year....and who knows when the kids will come. What I do know is, that unless something horrible happens job-wise, or economy-wise beyond my control, I will still be keeping my Camaro. I'll be trading up my extended cab Ford Ranger for a different crew cab truck.

It is a bit hard to understand from your post, but sounds like you only have a Camaro, and you wife has the G6 correct. If so...definitely go find yourself a Pontiac G8 or CTS-V if you still need a sexy car. If you yourself own both the Camaro and G6, well then its a no brainer....get rid of that G6.

My future wife will likely own a sporty looking SUV someday....but a minivan will not end up in our garage.....ever.

IMHO You can still keep your man card with a big a$& 4X4 SUV. Just stay away from minivans & you'll be fine. . . OH I agree with "keep the Camaro" . . (my kids LOVE our Camaro)

As far as the Casey Anthony posts, I have more taste than to even go there. . . . . and that's coming from . . . . "Z28RockStar"

If that don't tell ya sumthin' . . . .

When i was car shopping for something 4 door for the winter I came across at 2005 CTS-V. Not supercharged I believe 5.7L V8 but it really still got up and went. 60k miles they wanted something like 17,500 bucks for it. Gotta keep the faith and keep looking.

I can say that I have a Hyundai Santa Fe 2.7L V6 for the winter months. Its pretty good on gas I avg ~20.5MPG City and about mid 20s on the highway. You can probably snag one of those awd for ~5,000 in decent shape.

Hope it all works out for you.

I looked for a while, and every one that i could find..people wanted the price of an ss for it---very nice cars though- and 4 doors.

cab2g · 07-27-2011, 05:49 PM

Just buy a porsche cayenne. They look fast, for an SUV. Not as fast as a CTS-V but the base model looks fast and it will satisfy your wife.

Keep the Camaro and get her a Traverse.

I know. I tried to get one awhile back myself and I couldn't believe what people are wanting for them.
