Wouldn't it be more logical to buy a $30,000 SUV instead of a $65,000 SUV and start a College fund with the other $35,000?

wolverine, do what you want bro, most of these guys on here are gonna tell you to keep the camaro, because they have no life a outside of there camaro. the SUV your getting is cool man good luck. if i did have to say something, you might wanna check out the GC SRT8. but the cayenne s turbo goes 0-60 in 4.3 lol so it will be faster than a stock camaro if dont wanna lose the power of the camaro.

The base Cayenne can be had for around $65k but you won't find an S for less than $80k! I have two boys, 7 and 9 years old and their college 529 accounts are quite healthy.

According to the Porsche website the S starts at $65,500.

Who says he didn't? As he stated.. I have a 2010 Traverse soon to be traded in on a Caddy AWD SRX my wife wants and this SS. My daughters (twins) are 8 1/2 and both have 4yrs college tuition and books prepaid to any Florida University.

Just because someone buys a 65k car doesn't mean they have not planned ahead or saves money.

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!

This can't be real.

You may have just cursed yourself, should have stayed quite!

The $65k price for the S is the starting price. Then the buyer must pick from the options menu. Porsche doesn't just have one or two trim packages. It's like an a la carte menu. The S goes out the door for $80k to $90+k. The turbo package runs up to $120+k.

You mean they force you to buy options? Never heard of not being able to by a car without any options.

We are in full family mode and we just bought a Camaro. That car will be the last to go...it fits our two kids just fine and we have a Durango for the family car.

I carry everything I need in my pockets and I am a girl! I think I am still a tomboy at heart. :-) And I have 2 kids...we pack light everywhere we go.

I wish I could find a lady to share my life with...I hope it happens someday...but until then, all I have is my Camaro. I'd give anything to give up the car because it didn't fit in my family profile. Good for you!

Can I keep you in my pocket? This is the sweetest thing I have heard in a long time! We have a family AND our special car. My husband and I always wanted a Camaro so we just got one. we have a 5 year old girl who is obsessed with the car and we have a 1 year old who giggles when we start the car up.

I just got what I call my "First Car" at the age of 40.. Up till now all the cars I have owned have been family cars. That's just how it goes sometimes.
