I got there at 9pm on a Friday night, and the place was really picked over. It's a strange layout, with the ES right in front of the door and the EA on either side of it. At quick glance, nothing looked particularly appealing - all sedans - but the greeter saw me come out and approached me.

When I told him I was ES, he looked at the ES selection and said "what are you looking for?" I think I'm the only person on FT who doesn't mind the 2012 Escapes (they have lots of headroom and acceptable everything else) and since I spotted on out in the regular vehicle area, I suggested that. The greeter was happy to take me to it, and as I was walking over there I noted that there wasn't really a better vehicle on the lot.

The Escape was pretty well used - 15k on the odometer and expired sat radio - and it really didn't like going 75 on uphill stretches of I-25, but for $23/day after taxes I won't complain!
