Talk about something that's not specifiable in advance! All you can select in advance is the car category, for which they're giving an example. You cannot select a specific exact car model in advance online, not at Avis and (last I checked) not at Hertz either.
How likely you are to get a specific car may or may not be guessable if you have knowledge of what that location tends to stock in a particular category (which only a frequent renter at that specific location would tend to know).
