Drive a new Sonata, you'll really be impressed.

I avoid American cars whenever possible when I rent (about 20x year). On leisure trips, it's either a sporty car like a 350/370Z, MB E- or C-class, or BMW 3-series. On work trips, I usually end up with the aforementioned Sonata, Versa, etc. The only American cars I've driven AND liked were the new Mustang, the new Edge, and the Caddy SRX (random free upgrade).
