EA and ES were a bit of a mess on 2/6 Saturday. Full of Malibus, Impalas, and Dodge Journeys, half of the cars double parked and blocked in. Maserati, Panamera, 5.0 Mustang, and Corvette available for upcharge.

New Report:
Spent the majority of May in Nashville. Sunday-Thursday for 4 weeks. I travel with a group of 2-3 and we usually like the SUV for the luggage space.
EA: Usual sedans, Jeep Compass, Hyundai Tuscon
ES: Equinox, Jeep GC Limited, Ford Edge Titanium, F150, Explorer, Escape, Santa Fe, Rav4, some Minivans.
Had GC for 3 weeks and Edge for 1. Was surprised that I liked the Edge.

Went in Saturday 6/18 and they were overflowing.
Best options I've seen anywhere. Really nice car and SUV options. Was in a Explorer Limited in ES, noticed a 4Runner behind me in the EA. They were putting normal ES into the EA spots because the ES was full.

Wasn't too impressed with BNA yesterday. They had a few small cars, a few small pickups, and a ton of SUV/crossovers. Mostly Dodge and Kia. I was hoping to get another charger and even stopped to ask and was told they didn't have many sedans on the lot.
Ended up grabbing a Journey - decent ride, but not what I was hoping for.
The only nice car they had was a black 300c, but it had a horrible smoke smell. While that doesn't bother me, I didn't want to deal with that when returning it.

Was @ BNA over Labor Day, arrived Saturday morning.
They had a pretty limited selection, but they were bringing in a couple cars at a time from offsite, so if you wanted a little bit you could probably find what you're looking for.
I took a Expedition (limited) and it worked out very well.
ES:
- Expedition
- F150
- Jeep Patriot
- Dodge muscle car (challenger?)
- Ford Escape
- Handful of other small SUVs
- A family wanted a minivan, but none were available at the time. Either National moved one over from the minivan section or brought one from offsite, since they had one in the ES section a few minutes later.
EA:
- Camry
- Handful of other midsize sedans (didn't pay much attention, since I was in ES).
Upon return (on Labor day, after noon) the place was quite full. I didn't pay attention to everything that was there, but it looked like a very good selection.

BNA Friday February 10
Never seen the aisle so full - and it was mostly minvans and SUVs. Saw only two regular cars, a Passat and a Camry. Took the Camry with less than 200 miles on it. Noticeably missing from previous visits to BNA was that there were no Nissan Frontier trucks on the aisle, those have been a frequent occurrence here over the last year or so.

Also looking to hear about experiences. I am arriving on Thurs morning, hoping EA/ES has a full size SUV (Suburban, Yukon XL type) or minivan. I have a backup Minivan res just in case, but it does cost more.

Does anyone have the contact information for the manager here that they could PM me?
Have an open contract through this location that was checked out on the wrong reservation/rate (had booked a midsize and a full size reservation in case no full size cars were on the EA). Ended up taking a Ford Edge Titanium off of EA and specifically told the checkout agent to cancel the Full Size Reservation and check out on the Midsize. You can guess what happened
I have tried contacting the branch through their general number as suggested by National Corporate Care on several occasions to no avail.

Acadia
Santa Fe Sport
Equinoxes
300C
XT5 (I took this)
^If I wrote it in singular form, it means I only saw one
The Premier Selection area was pushing Navigators when I was there.
