Just wondering who thinks the car pictured in this MSN article is a rental.

 

No, but the car she gets with her Car Rental Insurance will be....

 

what is that car anyway...I just can't tell.

 

Looks like an '03ish Camry to me...just a guess. The headlight shape is very generic, and there's not much else to go by.

 

You guys... what about the air filter? How many rentals have aftermarket cold-air intakes?

 

LOL!! Believe it or not, that's the first thing I noticed when I looked at the picture....

i think that's a Pontiac GrandPrix

 

agreed....

and the intake was the first thing i saw too!

 

And the MSN web designer (whatever they're called) is not a car nut, obviously.
This is why I posted it.
[and who cares]

 

Thought my first post would tip you off Kurt; the ad is for Car Rental Insurance, not Rental Car Insurance. In other words, the despondent young lady now needs to rent a car to use while her Gran Prix or whatever gets fixed, but apparently she doesn't have Car Rental Insurance. That's how it looks to me anyway.


...and we obviously both have too much time on our hands!!

 

Yes we do!

 

It does look like the previous gen Grand Prix, but it's not. The gap between the front bumper and fender is straight on the old Grand Prix and Alero...the car in the picture has a bumper/fender gap that is straight, then juts upward toward the headlight.

It's also not a Camry, I was wrong.

I still haven't figured it out...oh well, I give up.

 

hummmm... how about a more recent monte carlo?

saw one today that looked kinda like it...

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one trying to figure out what kinda car that is......it's bugging me.

 

It looks like a last-gen Olds Aurora kinda......think so?

 

Not even close. The chrome surround, projector like rounder light.
Pontiac is the best guess.

 

I don't think it's any Pontiac. The Bonneville had a straight fender/bumper cover line, the Grand Am had larger headlights, the current and previous Grand Prix didn't have that cut line, and it's obviously not a GTO or G6....I think it has been photoshopped to create a "generic" car to drive us crazy.

 

How bout a Mazda Protege?

 

Great guess.

 

Congrats Kenny, you are the winner. It's def the Protege.

 

nope its a honda civic



also almost positive thats a K&N typhoon intake also.

 

No, It's a Protege. Look at the front fender. On the car in the picture the front fender comes to a point right where the orange part of the headlight ends.

On the Civic, the front fender goes WAY beyond that...almost to where the headlight ends and the grille begins. The Civic has much larger/deeper fenders and a much smaller hood.

It's def a Protege.
