Don't feel too bad.

I booked a Premium at BUF and received a YF Taurus SES (with leather and a sunroof).

Since I had a lot of driving, the Taurus actually worked better (saved a mint in fuel vs. the V8 in the Premium) so I didn't complain.

A "Y" car is just a nicer car within a class and is not a true "upgrade" per status/cert purposes. Usually there is an extra charge for these cars (I paid $15 to get a YC Nissan Altima), but sometimes you get them for free (I often score a YG Avalon XLS at SEA when booking premium).
