Scored a 2011 Ford Edge Limited this week - touchscreen interface for radio, plus working satellite radio. This one seems to cycle through here because I think I had the same thing a few weeks ago.

I saw a couple Cadillac CTS's in the Nov-Dec 2010 timeframe. I haven't been at BNA since then.

Last Monday they had 2 Infiniti G37's as well as 2 Volvo S60's. I saw a Jetta, a few new Cherokees, and a new Lucerne as well.

Have a Standard as well as Full Size reservation for this 28th Tuesday at BNA for 3 days. I have just joined EC so the reservation slip says counter service. So should i go directly to the booth to select my car or pay a visit to the counter first ? I called up the counter and lady mentioned i should be heading to booth, but i dont want to lug around my suitcases in case the booth guy sends me back.

Also, what can i expect at BNA for standard & full size ? I would want a Charger or Taurus ... not Imapala or a Malibu.

The counter is inside, on the way to the booth outside, so you can stop there first to confirm if you are worried about it.

Depends on what the Monday before was like - generally most of the traffic is on Monday AM so the pickings are slim on Tuesdays. That's when you're likely to get a Camry or Malibu or van. I've had good and back luck renting during "non-busy" times

I lost the car lottery this week - arrive Monday AM around 9 and was offered a van. I waited around and got a 2011 Buick Lucerne, no XM

Picked up on Sunday night at 11:30p. The aisle was Impala, Grand Cherokee, some Sonatas, a few Camry's and Avengers. I told the guy working all I wanted was XM because I had a drive to CHA later in the week. Offered me a selection of Avengers. I was not a happy camper, but wasn't going to argue that late at night. The next AM a coworker got a Cadillac SUV.

As of today the new rental car facility is open, and with it, an emerald and executive aisle
