I saw one of those a month or two ago at SLC. One of these days I'm going to ask for it since I'd rather have that than a... man I can't remember the last not-great car I had

Received 2013 mustang gt (w6)
The xm radio isn't activated, but I'd almost rather roll the window down and listen to the sweet music of the 5.0 liter v8. I nearly had a religious experience when I started it up.

Premium - Nissan Maxima or similar (G)

Yes - Cadillac SRX4 (K4) w/factory satnav
Also, FWIW, for the first time I received an email (akin to what I believe are Gold Choice vehicle alerts) about three hours before my pick-up informing me what car had been assigned.

Received 2013 Ford Explorer XLT (L4) 20k Miles and Never lost
They had no SUV 's so i was offered a Town Car or minivan. No way I was taking that so waited for the first SUV to be returned. An hour later I had a choice between a 13 Armada or a 13 Explorer which I took. I'm guessing the Explorer is the better of the two

At first, they tried to pawn off a Dodge Avenger on me, which I refused. I took the YF 2014 Impala Limited 2LT (3,800 miles) they gave me only after I had them downgrade me from F to C.
