DO NOT stick with the VW. Get a Cruze if you're dead set on getting rid of the VW.

This Friday(the 28th), I'm taking "Walter" to the dealership and I'll be driving home, a Crystal Red Metallic 2011 Chevy Cruze LT/RS. VERY nice car and look forward to using it for a daily driver and on the occasional road trip.

Keeping "Domino" and will NEVER give her up regardless of how high gas prices go.

Believe it or not, I traded a '09 Jeta TDI for my 2SS! It got 40 MPG Diesel. Only problem is VWOA's warranty on High Pressue Fuel Pumps. They were having issues with the latest CRD style deisels (w/USA Diesel standards) and some where having to shell out big bucks for replacement of the HPFP (and all lines,tank, etc.. $7-$9k). Would have traded my TDI for a '11 TDI but they won't be built till late '11. So we went with a 2SS daily driver...... fun to mod and will probably sell off when the '13 TDI's come out and closer to end of GM waranty.

Anytime you get rid of a car that new you are screwed no matter what the deal looks like.
If you do the deal then you will be upside down from the word go on the camaro. It's a bad cycle to start.

Yeah looks like my best option will be to stay with this car until I know I can get out cleanly. I appreciate all the input

Stick with the VDub until you've paid it down or pay it off and than buy a Camaro.

2012 gas is suppose to be $5.00 so that VW CC might come in handy...although you should have bought a VW GTI.

The CC looks like a Merecedez Benz wanna-be...........

I didn't mind buying used. It has 2 years left on the factory warranty and only 10,000 miles. If anything is wrong with it, it is on GM's dime.

Yeah that's true. I have always been weird about how the previous owner drove the car
