yup...two nice "everyday" regular cars...lets not fake it...we dont double take either one... VS a single, unique family super car. I'd choose the caddy if I were you.
BTW, how much for the vette.

All things being equal I'd say no. Unless you want to sell me the Vette for cheap then I'd say yes.

I'd keep what you got...WRX will go in the winter and get some great mileage. Z06 is just awesome.

Sean,

I voted no just based on my preferences for the cars themselves without taking into consideration how they would be used. If the vette is just going to sit then I would say sell it. I had a WRX and it is too small for comfortable family hauling (but the CTS will be too). I know everyone hates minivans, but they are the most practical family movers. They make it much easier to deal with transporting kids and their "stuff" than a sedan or even an SUV.

-Ken

Still owe 40K?, so it's not like you're "giving it up" you're just giving it back. Caddy is nice, depends on what your needs are I guess. If your thinking about the kids then the caddy is the way to go.......in style
