I have seen some of the larger SUV's come with the DVD player. Some of the Tahoes/ Yukons do come with the DVD.

The old ones certainly did, it was part of the Sun and Sound package or something like that. I don't recall the newer ones being ordered with rear DVD's though?

Was here on Tuesday afternoon. Lamest executive selection I've ever seen. I had my choice of minivan or pickup truck. This seems to be a trend here.

I would go for the LCAR. PGARs (i.e., Buick Enclave) have been on the Aisle/ES the last few times I passed through, nothing special about burning a free day about that. LCAR selections tended to be better, with a nice assortment of German metal to choose from right up front by the greeter's booth.

Dec 13th, 12:30pm arrival. The entire EA/ES selection consisted of minivans, two SUVs (already taken) and a few giant full size trucks. The worst selection I have ever seen. If this was Orlando with my family in tow I would have been happy, but to drive to business meetings around Boston it is not desirable. I am sure they could have brought an actual CAR up if asked but we didn't have time and shluld not have to play that game.
Sad, considering this is the same location where I was able to rent the really nice Kia K900 a couple of years ago from the ES area.

I was there late last night (almost 1:00am this morning, to be precise), and both the EA and ES were a sea of Dodge Caravans and Chrysler Town & Countrys. I did see a couple of Camaros, a Kia minivan, a Ford Explorer, a few big Dodge pick-up trucks, a Chevy Tahoe, and a GMC Yukon (which I took).

Rented at BOS on Tuesday. Tons of Suburbans and Expeditions. The Suburban I took had 5 miles on the odometer and had SiriusXM and built in navigation. Very nice vehicle.

Just thought I would post my results from an 11am pick up last Friday.
Tough selection (although I can be a bit of a rental car snob), a lot of the lower level Jeeps (Cherokees and Renegades), a couple of Camaros and a few minivans. There were two Ford Expeditions that seemed to have seen better days, A ton of the normal everyday sedan selection of Chevy Malibu's or similar.
No full size pick ups only a couple of low trim level Nissan Frontiers. I ended up sniffing out a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Had 18,000 miles on it, but was still pretty clean and in good overall condition.
The premium/exotic selection between National and Enterprise was stacked with lots of nice luxury vehicles several Porsche Cayennes/Panameras, Cadillac, etc.

Picked up again Monday around 9pm. The usual vast selection of Town & Countries and pick-up trucks. A few Fusions and Altimas, one convertible Mustang, and three XTS's. I grabbed the last of the XTS's, which turned out to have 4 miles on the odometer.
