Glam SUV vs Camping Fun SUV

The best way to get me to buy a car for my dolls is to make it seat more than two.  Mattel is doing a really good job of that lately - the Glam SUV and now the Camping Fun SUV.  Both cars seat four!   The only difference in the body is the paint job.  Camping Fun is light teal with "mud splatters" and Glam is purple. (The Zombie Hunting License isn't standard!)  The doors don't open which means they have to jump in and out through the roof, but the car stands up better to rough use.  


Glam came with four Starbucks drinks to go in the console cup holders.  Camping Fun was a bit more and came with a doll.  She's only got the five standard points of articulation and a case of Vapid Face, so she'll be passed on after I mug her and steal that cute outfit.  


The interior of the cars is identical.  Most of the interior is tan, with a black speaker deck behind the back seat and a cup-holding console between the front seats.  The console is long enough, though, that back-seat passengers can still reach their drinks.  Stacie is grateful.


The dash is also black.  The GPS says we're cruising the coast! When all four seats are occupied by adults, it can be close quarters, even if none of them are muscle men.  One thing that bothers me a bit - Barbie is meant to take all her sisters along in this car, but Chelsea/Kelly should have a safety seat.  Like I should talk...  I'm going to replace the seat belts with imaginary ones!   

     

The only real difference in these cars is this:  Camping Fun has off-road tires and sits a bit higher.  Basically, it's the Glam SUV with 4WD!  


Both these cars are an excellent value.  Glam has already been involved in several wrecks!  Camping Fun is fresh from the box and hasn't been subjected to any minions yet, but I'm confident it will survive.
