Default Which company car would you chose?

2006 Chevrolet Impala LS
2006 Ford 500 SE
2006 Buick Lacrosse CX
2006 Pontiac Grand Prix

Advice is needed as we are completely useless when it comes to cars.

Hubby's Jeep has to go next week and the company have offered him the choice of one of the above. After all the cutbacks at his company he is very lucky to be offered another company car.

Thanks

That was our first thought.

We have been comparing the specs and all we've been looking at are things like - how many cup holders and does it have a decent CD player.

If it's white, go for the Impala and you can pretend to be a cop

I like the design of the Impala. However, one of my co-workers has a 2005 Ford 500SE and says "it's the best car they ever owned."

I'm rather partial to the Chevy, myself.

Jim.

If you're under 65, I'd stay away from the Buick.

Teenage son was horrified that we even mentioned Buick.

So it's looking like the Ford or the Chevy. Ford has more room in the back which is handy because our son is over 6' tall.

None of them. They are all dull-on-wheels middle management drone machines.

Ask them for a decent truck.
