I am still a big fan of Detroit iron, my wife drives a 2012 GMC Yukon XL!!!
I have loved every minute of my experience with the Camaro.
Tons of power.
Great styling. Turning heads everywhere I went!
Great GM quality.
I will miss being part of the Camaro family and will be jealous every time I see one on the road.
I hope I am making a good decision?!?!

Congrats Wolverine1 on the Cayenne S! Different wants/needs at different points in life. It's hard for some to realize there is life outside of the Camaro

LOL, the Cayenne S isn't mine. It's the OP's new car. I was just stating that he already had a family car.

My wife thought it would be a good idea to trade in my Jeep 4 door Wrangler and the Camaro. I realize I could buy a ZL1 AND an SUV for the price of the Cayenne but she just wants me to have one vehicle. What do I do, she's the boss!
Really??

It'd make more sense to just admit you wanted the Porsche, than essentially admit you're whipped, and blame it on your wife.

Back in the day after I got married and had a kid, I traded my '75 Trans Am in on a Plymouth Champ. Made sense at the time and there have been many occasions I wished I had kept it. But today I have two grown sons that I am very proud of and a '78 Vette, a '78 Trans Am and a 2010 2SS/RS. So you do what you need to do because eventually it will all work out.

You said it yourself, you have a yukon XL, use that to tote kids and groceries and keep the camaro.

I own a horse farm, constant need for trucking, trailering, etc, and even when I have kids, ill keep my sports car, because my wife will drive a truck.

No need to have two vehicles doing the same job, just so you have one and your wife has the other. If you have two spare bedrooms you dont have to give up your man cave just because you have one kid
