Avis’s email system just sent me five confirmations within an hour span and somehow my red Optima morphed into a black Rogue. I was actually kind of looking forward to checking out the Optima for a week Rogue... not so much.

“The Black Rogue,” sounds like some kind of badass antihero comic book character. At least the seats in the rogue are nissan’s zero-gravity foam. Relatively comfy.

Do all trims get it? Last time I had a rental Nissan it was a crap-spec “S” that had the least comfortable seats ever but other higher trim Altima’s I’ve been in had better seats.

Ha. I still haven’t ventured out too far from my hotel. Hopefully this week I can get out more into Albuquerque and check out the places you suggested.

Avis is the Jesus character of the alien enemies in The Orville. Unsurprisingly, there are a lot of jokes about “Well, I bet that Hertz, doesn’t it!” and “This is the Orville, not the Enterprise!” Double joke.

I know the Rogue SV and SL get it. I haven’t driven as many S trims though.

The rental is, I think, an S trim. I’ve only driven it for 15 minutes so far but the seats seem fine. Every other touch surface is pretty damn terrible tough. The steering wheel in particular is horrible. Feels like it belongs on a golf cart, not a car. I’m guessing a lot of it is addressed in higher trims.
