Because I know the entire staff at JFK and the attendant I spoke to on Thursday confirmed the same MKZ, not MKS, had been sitting in PS for a week.
I'm not sure why you are being combative towards members who are simply sharing their experiences.

pretty hostel post from someone from FT.... I have seen the same car's parked in the Luxury isle when dropping off cars that were sitting there when I got my car. It does happen from time to time.

It could be the same exact car but rental cars (even luxury ones) are rather generic looking and can look alike. My partner has a E350 with Panoramic Roof (fairly rare in an E), yet there are several around town that I often think I'm seeing the car when it's another one.

How are EA/ES these days? My mother in law and grandmother in law will be coming to town soon and I wanted to drive them around the city for a few days of sightseeing to protect them from the cold... wondering if there are any nice options lately.
Also, thanks everyone for the updates on PS. Definitely interesting how things are going here... I don't even think you can make a luxury reservation at JFK even now.

Thursday night - around midnight
Looks like JFK renovated since I last several years ago. There's now canopy whereas it used to be an open air ES/EA.
Some minivans, GM sedans., Maxima, Altima. Picked up at 2015 Sonata. Handles very nicely in sport mode.

Reserved a full size SUV using my free day and got a 2014 Grand Cherokee Limited with the Luxury Group II package. Very impressed with the level of luxury with pano sunroof, heated and cooled leather seats, nav, xenon headlamps, and working sxm. Felt way more premium than the X5 I had.
EA: several Souls, Jettas, and Malibus
ES: several Caravans, several Mustang Convertibles, Camaro Convertible, old style Impala, Sonata, Camry, Rogue, Equinox
PS: SRX and QX60

Either the GM duo or an expedition. JFK isn't that large of a location so selection off EA/ES is never that great.

Last time I was there, the ES consisted of four stalls, two of which were empty. Though I think I did grab a Grand Cherokee, as the other choice was a Sebring or something...

Thanks so far! Well I did book a Full Size SUV, so they should at least have one.
Still, it's best if there are more options in the EA/ES isle.
I'd go for the GM one's. Don't like the expedition that much (as a FFAR).
In my opinion a Grand Cherokee shouldn't be a FFAR either.
