Well the acura dealers in ontario all give you a CSX as a loaner. I would rather get a Grand Prix than a CSX, at least it has a V6 and is a decent size.

That Grand Prix is NOT a Cash for Clunkers car. It's sinply a rental car, and has been treated like one. It sucks for the OP, but there's no point bitching about it. It's better than no car at all. Deal with it for a week, and then get back t your normal life with the TL. And why does it matter what car you show up with to a wedding?

just picture you wife with a nice white dress seitting in the stained passenger seat holding up the glove compartment for an hour and half drive not knowing if your gonna make it or not with that check engine lite on.... and two kids in the back seat wearing suits with hay all over the seats. hummmmmm I think i really matters..... its was not worth getting that car cleaned i rented a car instead..... its not a cash for clunkers im was just venting out...... I'v bought a total of 7 cars from them and thats how they repay me... with an effffed up dirty trade in...

once again proving the sales dept has no relation to the service dept besides providing them with cars to service!!

Its the service MANAGER you want to have Goodwill with!

I once rented a car for a wedding and they brought out a pos- dirty everywhere-how can you think of charging my money for this car!!!
same issues with dresses and suits...
When I complained and reminded them for the 5th time since making reservation a month before-- it was for MY wedding,,they brought out a nice 929 (back in the day)

The dealer is not obligated to even provide a loaner- be grateful for whatever you get or rent a car on your own--thats life
