EA and ES both had wide selections tonight around 10:00pm. On ES I saw several Tahoes (old LTZ and new LT) along with F150, Ram, Enclave, Traverse, Durango, Grand Cherokee, Sonata, and a few other SUVs. On the Sedan front there were several Impalas ranging from Limited up to LTZ, chargers, Mazda 6s, Maximas, Lacrosses, etc. EA was new 200s, old 200s, Souls, Compass, Captiva, and Impala Limited. On my LCAR res I was given the choice of a 328i, XTS, SRX, ATS, MXT, or Z4 (the former three being parked in VIP, the latter three being parked in PS). I took the Z4 having not paid any attention to the weather on the shuttle ride (reading an article in one of the local freebie parenting magazines), though at least it's an xDrive model (had I realized it was going to be constant rain the next few days I probably would have taken the Grand Cherokee Limited from ES and had the booth downgrade my rate to ICAR).
EDIT: Turns out it just got warm enough to drop the top for a ride down I90 today. Glad I took the Z4 because I can't imagine seeing another pop up for awhile, especially on an LCAR res with no upgrade fee.

I glanced at availability as I walked by after dropping off today (3pm-ish) and things were far less interesting than Monday night. EA was 200s (new and old), a Jetta, and a Fusion... ES was full of small SUVs, a few Altimas and Malibus, and one Impala Limited... PS was just an S60 wagon and VIP was empty.

Arrived at 10pm Friday night with family and 4 large bags. I had a minivan rental as a backup at Alamo but was hoping to avoid getting a Town & Country since it only seated 2 in the middle row. Choices were somewhat limited, no Yukon/Tahoe in the executive lanes. There was a Yukon, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Explorers and Dodge Durangos all waiting to be processed/cleaned.
- Buick Enclave (VIP reserved for someone else)
- Hyundai Santa Fe
- Mazda CX5s
- Muranos
- several Chrysler T&C
- many sedans (Altima, Fusions, etc)
I took an 2014 Acura MDX that was just cleaned/processed while we stood trying to fit bags in a minivan. Best car on the lot despite having 18k miles and no GPS.

ES was nearly empty tonight... had a Rogue, Patriot, Sienna, and Caravan. EA had a few Souls, a Jetta, and a couple of Altimas. PS had a Ghibli for $100/day and there was a Camaro coupe in VIP next to the XTS I took on an LCAR res.

Hadn't seen an update in a while, and I'm here all the time so figured I'd post what I saw in ES.
Arrived around 8:15pm tonight. Lots of cars in ES but only a few notable choices.
Multiple Sonatas, Patriots, Santa Fes, and Equinoxes. A few full sized pickups (Chevy, Dodge), Kia and Toyota minivans, Altimas, and Camrys. There were two Buick Enclaves and a Chrysler 300 (which I nabbed).

Lately it has been SUV city, especially for smaller vehicles like Terrains, Equinoxes, Cherokees etc. Lots of Minivans and some Trucks as well on the ES. EA has been barren every time I went through. VIP usually has the good stuff. Very little in the way of Sedans as of late, however when I dropped off on Monday night, there was maybe a half dozen on the line (4 of which were new 2015 chargers).

Was on the line on the weekend. Saturday morning as of late has been very slim pickings and the staff on duty have been pretty horrible. I find the night staff better than the morning guys in helping out. The Saturday morning staff just don't want to help at all, where as the night staff want to help and will do what they can.

There is an occasional premium car in Exec - Buick Lacosse/Verrano - if you are lucky. Otherwise Exec is your usual mix of sedans.
