Online Travel Services Offer Carbon Offsets with Trip Purchase (updated) (#)

„The carbon offsets in the Go Zero program are offered as an option that customers can add during check-out when booking a vacation package on Travelocity. A contribution of $10 offsets an average trip including air travel, a one-night hotel stay, and rental car for one person; $25 negates air travel, four-night hotel stay, and rental car for two people; and $40 equalizes the effects of air travel, four-night hotel stay, and rental car for four people.“

Popular Mechanics: You are (absolutely, precisely) Here - Popular Mechanics (#)

„TOM SANDERS CAN enable jets to land on runways and aircraft carriers scattered through a fogbound night, but things get tougher when he goes to dinner on a business trip. That's when the engineer is confronted by mankind's greatest navigational challenge: finding a rental car in an oversize parking lot. But Sanders has a secret weapon, based on the constellation of military satellites that he employs at work. He pulls out a $200 handheld GPS unit and locates his econo-ride in seconds.“

2005 Pontiac Grand Prix GXP: In the Autoblog Garage day 3 and 4 - Autoblog (#)

„Here's a good looking interior, a great engine, and good styling. The weak point is the car's aging platform, and dropping a V10 into it is not going to help: the drive screams "rental car" Rental car with a great engine and snazzy interior, but rental car none-the-less. A for effort, but C for been-there-done-that mediocrity, especially in the same market as a Honda Accord.“

Mark Steyn reviews Debunking 9/11 Myths - Popular Mechanics (#)

„As James B. Meigs, the editor-in-chief of Popular Mechanics, remarks toward the end of this book, the overwhelming nature of the evidence is, to the conspiratorially inclined, only further evidence of a cover-up: 'One forum posting that has multiplied across the Internet includes a long list of the physical evidence linking the 19 hijackers to the crime: the rental car left behind at Boston's Logan airport, Mohammed Atta's suitcase, passports recovered at the crash sites, and so on ...“

Ford Five Hundred to be renamed Taurus (#)

„The 500 isn't selling because to the car, not because of the name. Moving the name to Taurus will only garauntee rental car status faster. It'll be a bland car attached to a rental car name. If they had actually mantained the Taurus and gave it a big send off when it went out of production it might had been okay, but they didn't.“

Another tease: 2008 Chevrolet Malibu photo leak (#)

„This isn't f'n Queersandgears folks, not everyone has to be in love with Garbage Motors. This car is a rental, history has proven that. The venerable Accord and Camry, and Altima, and Legacy and the rest of the competition are not going to all of a sudden pale in comparison to a car that has been the epitome of Avis lots across the country. That is "dream on" folks.“

Long-Term Test Cars - December 2005 - Popular Mechanics (#)

„We opted for this version over the more sedate, regular Cobalt, with its rental-car persona, because we like to have fun while we're driving. And we love doing it without sucking our petroleum reserves dry. We couldn't resist the lure of the 60 additional horsepower you get with the supercharged four-cylinder--at a cost of only 2 mpg in city driving, compared to the regular Cobalt.“

European Automotive Hall of Fame (#)

„Restless, Peugeot tinkered with other businesses. He began to build engines for boats and, in Paris, created a delivery car rental company. But the ventures foundered and Armand's business was only saved by the lightweight Bebe Peugeot model in 1905. A little two-seater with a 6hp engines, the Bebe Peugeot sold some 400 units that year.“

„In contrast, we saw some sellers “no sale” less expensive vehicles in anticipation of a better return in January. This holding of used car inventory, along with an increase in off-rental units, will contribute to a build-up of inventory putting downward pressure on prices at year-end.“
