^^ Agreed! Your 2013 is a HUGE step up from the old 2001 v6. Even if it's not as powerful as your Camaro SS, it's gonna be twice as reliable. Not to mention you are getting a warranty with it, so you shouldn't be paying for maintenance any time soon besides oil changes, and car wash.

Good luck with your new ride!

The only comment I have is about the "Shaker" audio system.
I'm glad I didn't get it. The problem is that speakers are mounted in the lower forward part of the door, and they stick out about 2 inches. The problem is that I always seem to kick that area when getting in and out of the car. If there were speakers there, they would get banged up pretty bad.

Also the climate here (Las Vegas) is probably similar to Dubai, and leather seats are a problem, too hot in the desert heat.

The resale value here in the US is no better or no worse than other cars. It depends a lot on the condition, if you drive the car hard all the time, resale will suffer. But here in the US, if someone was worried about that, one would lease the car. I disagree with the other comment about the V6's depreciating more, this may have been true with the older 200HP V6, but with the 300HP V6

From first hand experience of driving a 2013 I can tell you two things. 1. It is a great car and I love her more and more every day. 2. The black deck lid panel between the two tail lights will not stay flush to the body. I have had it replaced twice and the 3m tape refuses to bind. Luckily, no one else will notice but yourself.
