There are still some left on fleet, but they are being replaced by regular Mustang GT 5.0 cars.If you can get one for less than $100 a day upgrade, you've got a good deal. You are extremely unlikely ever to see them in Ultimate Choice, these are always going to be in the Dream Car section with the AMGs and Porsches

Yes, mine had 5 miles on the clock! Went back with 49. The people booking it back in noticed it and it's definitely unusual on the fleet, though there were one or two others around.

@Nogrossi - gosh those are generous upgrades.
Not sure if it's policy, but since Glasgow relocated to the new rental centre, I've had reasonable upgrades (previously upgrades were as rare as hens teeth at GLA).
My two most recent GLA rentals (reserved compact) gave me a Kia Optima (group O) which was far better than I expected and an Audi A3 (group D3) - the Audi might be branded premium but on sport-line suspension the ride was shockingly bad. They've removed the shock absorbers and fitted wooden block - dreadful on the poorly surfaced roads of Argyll.

Pretty basic trim (cloth seats), but only 104 miles, which was nice.

Y6 would have been a RAV4, so I don't blame you for getting the V40.

I had a one day rental from the Nashville location right around the street from the airport at a B class rate, expecting a C class upgrade and was given a Q4 upgrade as I assume they wanted other vehicles in the C class fleet available for multi-day renters. I was also picked up, even though the location does not normally do pick-ups.
Amazingly, that location also had a one-star review on Google, but I did my part to help them out by giving them five stars.

Interestingly, class L was about $10 cheaper than midsize/fullsize per day.
