This does appear to be the case at MCO, as the car fleets are co-located. FWIW, I was told to pick from the "Specialty" area, which had several SUVs and Mercury Grand Marquis. I ended up with a Ford Explorer with XM and about 5K miles. Outstanding!!!!
I was surprised at the choice, because the midsize area seemed completely full!
