Thanks! I was hoping that you would get some useful info from it. No Beater-Review -- that's only for old vehicles. But yeah, I had to give it back to rental folks today. They always ask, "Was the car OK -- any problems?" -- Usually I answer, "Great" or "the car was good" - that sort of thing. Today was -- "I got 36 miles per gallon with this!". The guy was like, "Really?" That was it. I don't think he believed me.
I wasn't about produce the SG as evidence

That's the one I had! I knew I should have taken a picture or something. The rear bumper is a target for scratches on a rental (suitcases, cargo, golf clubs, etc.) It was gouged pretty good in a couple spots. It could be a softer plastic, or the lack of paint didn't offer a layer of protection.
That's neat about the Fremont folks. I wonder if they'll be making the '09 there? It's a complete re-design...
Anyhoo, I'm headed back to the rental lot to pick up a sedan for a weekend trip to St. Louis. I think Teggy is starting to get jealous...
