Reserved VW Golf
Given Porsche Cayman
There was a murderers row of Porsches there, 911, Boxter convertible, Panamera, Cayenne, etc. But the Cayman was what I got. They were about to give me an A5 when they saw me looking lovingly over at the Porsches.
And a week ago, arriving late at night

No, it is group X. A little bit strange. But it's in line with their website. G6 is "Ford Mondeo GPS or similar" and X is "Ford Mondeo Station Wagon Diesel GPS or similar", which is the car i had.

G6 will be the petrol versions then... my Mondeo was a petrol estate.
Oh and I believe (but am willing to be corrected, particularly in Canada) that a Camry is an F6 and a Charger is a regular F or YF.

It's not a bad small car but considering it's about the cheapest new car you can buy in the US, how can there be two car classes beneath it?

Just a Gold member; rarely rent from Hertz. Reserved through JB's site and it didn't show up on the Hertz site. Maybe a screw up?
Reserved: C-Class (P4)
Offered: 2012 E350 (K) w/ 45k and NV plates, or if I didn't like it the Gold #1 booth attendant said I could have anything I wanted on the lot. Not sure where they dug this car up at, but it looked like it had been very thoroughly detailed inside and out, unlike the other Prestige Collection cars in that row.
I love hood ornaments and RWD. So retro.
