My buddy Keith messaged me and asked, "Why are rental cars American cars?" I said, "Man, I don't know!" (and I pointed out that yesterday was Q&A day). But I got to thinking, why indeed. And, while I'm not car-renting connoisseur, every rental I've ever had was an American car. I've rented plenty of Tauruses (pictured), Focuses (which I mostly liked) and a Saturn sedan. They all ran fine (well, the Tauruses I had were super, super beaten but did run quietly) and never broke down but, again, never a non-American car. Do any of you have any ideas why rental cars are American cars? Have you ever rented anything but American cars? If you have any answer, please, post and let me know.
