yeah really, I've only been offered an IS, ES, or RX. Why does it seem like someone here is Always getting a better deal. I've been to like 4 different dealers and they always have low-end loaners.

I still have you beat with the Hyundai ... actually I got mixed up and it was worse, it was definitely an Accent and not an Elantra. And it had a big dent in the trunk lid that was rusting.

They were gonna give me a red Aveo, which i kindly asked the on site clerk to get something else, they ended up giving me a gray Corolla, which i didn't bother to argue as i had to head back to work in a hurry. I don't understand, the dorks who came with IS250's got IS250 courtesy cars, i drive in a GS and i get a facken Corolla....oh well i guess since it was free i shouldn't complain. I didnt feel have as bad as the old man who came in behind me in a LS460 and got a freaken Chevy HHR. I guess the higher end car you got, the crappier the car you get.

Why is it that the west coast always gets the nice loaner and the east coast gets stuck with the ES or the RX man those are U-G-L-Y, maybe not so much the ES but the RX c'mon.

Was this at Longo? The tech or whoever that was in my car sort of scuffed up my leather on my steering wheel on the backside, i just noticed it today. It looks like a screw driver was dragged across?
