Aah yes, I remember that thread. Your case was a little bit different though. In your situation, you reserved a Premium SUV, defined as a Yukon XL or similar. Instead, they gave you a regular Expedition, which compares directly to the Yukon but not the Yukon XL. So it wasn't that they didn't honour a specific make/model reservation, it was that they downgraded you. Still a lousy play by Hertz and I'm in no way downplaying your experience. Just thought I'd clarify in case there's any confusion.

I have an Audi A6 booked at YVR for my birthday in June. It's my 25th so I figured it was only natural to celebrate the lifting of age bans by renting something sweet. Looking at their current fleet guide, the only other cars listed in their Prestige Collection are the Escalade, Navigator, and Volvo V70XC and S80. I might be okay with the S80, but the V70 isn't what I had in mind, I've driven the Navigator, and not particularly fond of getting a giant SUV in either case. So beyond that, it'd leave me at the mercy of their luxury class, which is likely a Lincoln Town Car.

I'm planning to phone a night or two before to confirm that the car will be there. If they comp me into anything else, I'll be heading for National's Luxury Aisle that morning to pick something I'll enjoy better.
