    you are wrong, the decision after all is his, it is also not acceptable that a woman be tough and call names with her husband, go to him and say sorry in a seductive way...

    Well, this all depends, are you two strapped for cash or got a bunch of money floatin around burning a hole in your pocket? If money isn't a concern I say get the fun car! But of course if money is a problem then it's best to get the modest car.

    WTH is up with the first poster? Dude... calm down lol

    Also, that ain't cool your husband is swearing at you. Sounds like maybe you guys should invest that money in couples counselling rather than a fancy new car. In a healthy marriage there shouldn't be any swearing.

    Any large purchase in a marriage is a significant decision and it is a given that it will always be somewhat stressful. You likely both have good reasons for your individual views on the matter ("Let's buy the expensive one so it will last longer...Let's go with a more modest price to pay it off faster"). Regardless of the stressful decisions and your own opinions, however, the first and foremost thing that should always come in a marriage is respect. Dragging the dreaded "F" word into such a matter is very uncalled for and you should tell your husband that regardless of your disagreement he should at least have the common decency to respect his own wife.

    There are only two types of car buyers in this world. Those that purchase based upon practicality. And those that purchase on emotion. You and your husband are on opposite ends of each spectrum. And there will never be any commonality on this subject between the both of you. Give it up. He might concede a bit, but i doubt it. He's going to buy that two door Caddy or Lincoln, no matter what. And if you were buying, you're going to by that 4 door Chevy, not matter what. This is a common plight in many marriages. But it will work out.

    If he is calling you cheap and swearing at you, maybe a car isn't your biggest problem here. But try to get other people, like his family, to advise him against the car.
