OP, I agree with what a few others have said here regarding keeping your wife in a car she enjoys just as much as a car that you enjoy yourself. My wife drive's the car that she'd want to be driving even if we made twice as much money as we do, and because of that, I don't get much **** when I do the same.

we've been married 3 years and I've driven 5 cars in that time, slowly upgrading until I could get my hands on the 370. She's currently in a 2010 equinox and couldn't be happier.

However, getting yourself upside-down in another car after trading in this pathfinder isn't a good idea. With no money down, and getting 5k or so less than you owe on the car is going to keep you upside-down on the Z for nearly it's entire financing period. You're going to end up carrying that debt over and over again on new cars and it's going to get worse and worse. Sell the pathfinder privately, pay off anymore you owe after selling it, and drive the RX7 around for a while to save up a down payment on the Z.
