CES 2007: Autonet mobile ISP not bad - Autoblog (#)

„Any wi-fi able device will be able to take advantage of the mobile ISP which will be hugely useful to business travellers and a great entertainment option for casual travellers. Expect to see the device on Avis rental cars this year in 10 major cities for an extra charge. Sterling tells us consumers should be able to pick an Autonet up for their own cars in August for about $399 and $49 a month for service. Hopefully we can get our hands on one soon to let you know how it works in RL.“

Rental Rocket - AutoWeek (#)

„Though there is little evidence any of the cars actually made it to the track, that is not stopping Ford, Shelby and Hertz from reigniting the urban myth with 500 black-and-gold 2006 Shelby GT-H models—debuting at the New York show and available later this year as Hertz rental cars only. The GT-H gets a boost from the Ford Racing Performance Parts bin, resulting in a 20-hp, 10-lb-ft increase in power from the 4.6-liter V8 (up to 325 hp and 330 lb-ft).“

More photos, details on Shelby GT350-H Hertz Mustang (#)

„The pictures of drifting around corners and doing burn outs that appear in Motortrend are because their Shelby demonstrator was not a Hertz rental with TCH deactivated. The articles does say for rental cars "the TCH disable function has been …disabled". It had to be something both simple to do, and simple to undo. There is a blog site that tells the whole story: http://hertzshelbytchon.blogstream.com/ “

World's Top Bankers Eye BMW's and Mercs - AutoSpies Auto News (#)

„THE estimated $500,000 that participants of the IMF and World Bank meetings are spending on car rental will not benefit all firms because of the demand for mainly Mercedes-Benz and BMW models which are chauffeur-driven. Even if these luxury cars are hired out without a chauffeur, that is, on a self-drive basis, rental firms say the companies taking them will have their own staff as drivers.“

Comparison Test: The 13 Quickest Cars You Can Buy - Popular Mechanics (#)

„Before we hit the track in the 12 cars that did show up and the one rental, we filled the cars with gas, set all the tires at each manufacturer's suggested pressure settings and turned off all the traction control systems we could. Then we made run after run, sacrificing years of tire life to prove that these cars deserve the respect of the American public.“

Future Classic: Cadillac Cimarron - Autoblog (#)

„Over the years, a series of upgrades were carried out to make the car more palatable. These consisted of a mild facelift to erase any lingering notions of rental cars, a 2.8L V6, and a so-called "touring suspension" from OEM supplier Jet-Puffed. None of this stopped the car from being total crap, rejected by even the most ostentatious of the new money set. The Cimarron visited Dr.“

Ford displaced by Toyota as #2 automaker (#)

„It's like cop cars, they always get Fords and Chevys because the people will bitch if the municipal cars are not supporting American industry. Plus, American rental cars are CHEAP, not as RELIABLE or PRACTICAL. I'd much rather rent a Civic than a Focus (not that I'd ever buy either of them).“

Ford Creates Plan to Boost Residual Values - AutoSpies Auto News (#)

„In recent years, Taurus cars held only 30 percent residual value after 36 months due to its high-volume rental presence. Comparatively, the Fusion, Five Hundred and Lincoln Zephyr/MKZ hold residual value between 45 and 50 percent after 36 months because Ford has limited their volume in the rental market.“

Spied: BMW Z9? (updated) (#)

Chrysler Group announces 13,000 job cuts, plant closure (#)

„How does this not shock me. With a Dodge lineup that looks like a run of rental fleet cars, vehicles from Chrysler like the Sebring, and nothing inspiring from Jeep in decades… Well, I'm not suprised at all.“

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

„The local Ford dealer gets rid of theirs within two weeks. A lot of them are off lease models (my friends was an 03 with 21k miles) and the former rental cars are usually low mile vehicles (under 25k). “

FROM GERMANY: the Autobahn Will Not Stay as it is Much Longer - AutoSpies Auto News (#)

„Most rentals are diesels or smaller engined gasoline models. Perhaps Auto Union got his speed wrong, but 260 km/h is pretty much impossible for those rental cars to achieve.“
