They may be getting better these days, but when I've booked a premium car they have just pointed me at the ES aisle.

Same here. After the fifth time I just stopped reserving premium.

So it makes more sense to reserve and pay for a midsize car as I see most of those cars except for Chrysler 300 in ES.

I haven't seen them recently. I usually go on Thursday evening or Friday afternoon. When do you usually go that you see them?

There was a brand new Chrysler 300S with Beats audio in the ES this weekend.

Sometimes there is value in having a premium reservation. If they are running low on cars they seem to set the premium's aside and you might not find one in the isle.

I Saw one yesterday. They are Limited AWD with the appearance package (20" rims) and the multi panel vista roof. Very well equipped, I guess the fully loaded Fords are starting to show up again.

ES: Nissan Pathfinder, Buick Lacrosse (1600 km millage, leather, reverse camera), Altima, Maxima (30000 km millage, leather, seat heater, reverse camera), Sonata (380 km millage,heated seats and steering wheel, reverse camera and sensor, blind spot detector, smart lane change assist) , Jeap SUV, Dodge Journey, Toyota Camery. Genesis (leather, reverse camera, heated seats), and a few other mid-size SUVs.

I asked for an Infiniti and was told the upgrade costs me $60 per day extra (my rate was $22 per day for full-size). I grabbed the Sonata.

Genesis was 2014 model (not the new one). I'm not sure about the Mustang.

I saw a red mustang convertible yesterday in the ER-storage, it was a base model 2014. Havn't seen a '15 5.0 yet.

Picked up on Sat T1 ~11 pm

Fully stocked with 200 base, altima,

ES: Escape SE, Rogue, Maximas, Buick cars, Pathfinder, outlander. Took a Wrangler Unlimited Sahara for the first time because Ms Mapelle wanted to try it. It's going right back from where it came from tomorrow morning. The road noise is the worst I've experienced, the drive is mushy and soft and there are no real features, oh and it's a guzzler. A true step down from the GC Limited. The only place I'd drive it is off road for the novelty factor.

EA: 200, Rondo, Corolla, and one or two midsize GM suv's
