The Luxury of Being Driven, Part 2 - Vile Gossip - Automobile Magazine (#)

„The last time anyone in this office can remember the pleasure of driving a Lincoln Town Car was sometime back in the 1980s when it was the rental-upgrade vehicle of choice. Back then, Detroit car dealers waged an advertising war over which make had the longer car, Cadillac or Lincoln. Gradually, Cadillac found its head and drove the DeVille up and away from the fusty Town Car with a superb big-car touring suspension, the great Northstar V-8, and excellent brakes.“

2007 Ford Shelby GT-H - Car Test & Road Review - Automobile Magazine (#)

„There's a great scene toward the end of John Frankenheimer's epic movie, Grand Prix, where James Garner, as the troubled racing ace Pete Aron, drives slowly through the crowded paddock at Monza in his rental car before the season's final round. The fact that his car was never available for rent in Europe, let alone Italy, is irrelevant. His character was American, so, logically, he drove an American car.“

Toyota reveals 2007 Toyota Tundra pickup (#)

„Hey Look Again, the Impala has a mediocre ride, a underpowered boring engine, bland handling, a fucking TERRIBLE interior (the redesign this year improved yes, but still no match for an Avalon), and the seats are uncomfortable. I'd say that every aspect of Impala's you touched on up there that you say that American car rental tourists desire is covered by the Avalon, and in fact, is BETTER in the Avalon ...“

2008 Chevrolet Malibu breaks cover (#)

„Wow, does anyone actually care about GM anymore? Especially some stupid rental car. As an ex-Malibu owner, I can say GM quality is in the toilet and my 2003 Malibu was the worst car I've ever owned. So, I won't be looking for the new one unless I am on a business trip and I get stuck with one as a rental.“

Are Fleet Sales Saving Detroit? “ Motor Trend The General Forum Forum (#)

„You have a good theory, but you're missing one key factor. Something has to be done with the cars when the rental companies, police, taxis, etc. get rid of them. The average police cruiser lasts less than two years, and is brought to auction driven hard with high miles.“

„This time, however, "I don't think the feelings that I will have driving into Lausitzring with my rental car will be feelings of fear. It will probably be more feelings of pride to say, 'You didn't do me this time'."“

Enterprise Rent-A-Car Adds VUE Green Line Hybrid to California Fleet (#)

„How long does Enterprise plan to keep these cars in their rental fleet? The time in service of the average rental car is not terribly high, as I recall.“

Spied: 2008 Ford Five Hundred with less disguise (#)

„It's OK. They'll take any rental car snoozer, put a big engine in it, slap an SS badge on it and call it excitement. Malibu SS? Let me catch some air.“
