Altima is now a fullsize in rental car parlance. It's not Hertz alone: I see them on the Exec Aisle at National.
If yours had a small trunk, I assume it was the hybrid. (The non-hybrid has a bigger trunk.) As hybrids go, I like the Altima a lot more than I like the Prius. If I have a choice (e.g. National or Alamo) and an Altima hybrid is there, I usually take it.
In other words, I don't think Hertz was jamming you.
