There are plenty of rental cars that are nice.. I rented a Brand new Charger - Touch screen radio/ ac controls. Comfortable seats. Ive also rented a new V6 Mustang, and also a new Passat. (the passat was blah for sure). Those vehicles (except the Passat) were fairly nice.

A vehicle is a vehicle, rental or fleet makes no difference to me. I judge a car based off it looks, comfort, performance, and quality.

This one is severely lacking in most of those categories IMO.

The ones with the leather aren't as bad, but still not for me.

A Charger, Mustang, and Passat aren't exactly your normal, run-of-the-mill, everyday rental cars.

The customers who get Captivas in their fleets are looking for basic A-to-B transportation. Nothing more.

You're talking like the folks who bashed the Caprice PPV's design for being boring. Well hell, it's a freaking police car, WGAS?

I'm just talking like me, I can't speak for anyone else. I happen to think this particular car is blah. This isn't some sort of testicle size contest, or GM bashing or whatever. It is simply me giving my opinion on this particular car.

BTW If those aren't run of the mill rental cars, some one needs to tell that to National Rental Car. Because those are your typical type choices (At least at the Las Vegas Airport).

those prices are hilarious on those captiva used for sale lol over 30k and 11k miles might as well buy a new equinox for that price. Id rock the Caprice cop car cause its so different than the G8 put some nice rims on it and a intake and exhaust. It would be a nice family car.
