I know 5 years ago I wouldn't have even wasted my time trying to talk my wife into getting one. we needed vehicles with 4 doors, lots of trunk space, low cost of ownership, bulletproof reliability and decent gas mileage. the camaro isn't any of those things, it's a toy.
can it function with a family, sure. is it ideal, hell no. hell, it only seats 4. that pretty much rules it out for anybody with more than 2 kids.

I just wonder how many of you that are saying they "wear the pants" say that in front of their wifes?

This. I was fortunate I bought mine before I got married and before I knew we had a child coming. I am fortunate to have a very loving wife who comprimised and let me keep my camaro. If she would have told me it absolutely had to go, I would have agreed to part with it. If its just me toting my boy to or from childcare, we are alright. If the three of us have somewhere to go, we take her SUV.
But yea, its not a practical vehicle at all with a family, and my family only consists of three. Cant knock a man who listens to and respects his wife. And if this car was more practical, there would probably be 3 or 4x as many on the road right now.
