National - What's the first 2013 model year car that will be rentable?View Full Version : What's the first 2013 model year car that will be rentable? drzoidberg Feb 29, 12, 7:43 pm My guess is the refreshed 2013 Ford Taurus (spring 2013) or refreshed 2013 VW CC. The 2013 Ford Escape won't be available until May 2012, and the 2013 Ford Fusion won't be here until the fall... Jack Wang Feb 29, 12, 8:26 pm My guess is the refreshed 2013 Ford Taurus (spring 2013) or refreshed 2013 VW CC. The 2013 Ford Escape won't be available until May 2012, and the 2013 Ford Fusion won't be here until the fall... Oh man, I'm looking forward to the 2013 Fusion. They flashed a picture of it on Top Gear, and everyone there (and me on my couch) thought it looked fantastic. The CC looks good as well. What about the Dodge Dart? Any up and coming RWD sedans to speak of? drzoidberg Feb 29, 12, 8:29 pm Oh man, I'm looking forward to the 2013 Fusion.

Any up and coming RWD sedans to speak of? Good point! The Dodge Dart will be available Q2 2012. Also looking forward to the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. 2012 is shaping up to be a good year (unless gas hits $5/gallon)... PKCorey Mar 1, 12, 12:37 am Ill go with the Malibu. Ritz Mar 1, 12, 4:11 am Also looking forward to the 2013 Lincoln MKZ. 2012 is shaping up to be a good year (unless gas hits $5/gallon)... I always look forward to July/August, when I usually change out my current Tahoe/Yukon for next year's model. Although, I always notice the Durangos are already on the lot by then. drzoidberg Mar 1, 12, 7:05 am Anyone know if the 2012 Hyundai Azeras are on rental lots yet? drzoidberg Mar 4, 12, 8:42 pm Speak of the devil! Saw a 2013 Ford Taurus Limited tonight, PXAR. drzoidberg Mar 7, 12, 6:39 am I checked today, the 2013 Taurus Limited doesn't have the Sony audio standard. Interestingly, the Sony doesn't come standard on Titanium/Limited models like the Focus/Taurus, but it does come standard on Limited trim for Explorers and Edges. Maybe because sedans are lower margin vehicles? dtremit Mar 9, 12, 1:15 am I checked today, the 2013 Taurus Limited doesn't have the Sony audio standard. Interestingly, the Sony doesn't come standard on Titanium/Limited models like the Focus/Taurus, but it does come standard on Limited trim for Explorers and Edges. Maybe because sedans are lower margin vehicles? That probably explains the Focus -- they're under some pressure to keep MSRPs down there, as well. On the Taurus, it may have something to do with the market demographics -- the Sony stereos seem somewhat targeted at a younger customer, which is not necessarily the person buying a high-trim, non-SHO Taurus. |
