Is there a way to ensure I don't always get swapped to a crappier car?

I am Hertz Gold and rent the intermediate class every week from PHL. On the reservation it says Mazda 6.

After 6 weeks of rentals, I have NEVER gotten a Mazda 6 - I have gotten minivans, Mazda 5's, and pretty much everything else BUT a Mazda 6. I understand the reservation is for "similar" cars and a Ford Fusion would be fine b/c it is still a car in the same class as a Mazda 6 but I don't get those either. Also, even though I am Gold I am never in the Gold canopy I'm in the overflow with the non-Gold cars (even though the contract says Gold and I'm on that Gold board that says what spot your car is in)

I thought as a Gold you could "choose" your car or at least have a little bit of a chance of at least getting something in the same class? Since I am Gold it is in the canopy and I just put luggage in and leave - bet it would be a PITA to request a different car, have them re-do the contract, etc.
