I did have an economy reservation as a backup, but the people I went with didn't want a Focus. I think I would have rather preferred it over that monster. I still can't believe they consider that a "Premium" car.
They have pulled the "only have a Crown Vic" on me 2-3 times at DCA, and they always magically come up with something better when I asked politely. YMMV, but I assume more honey (or more vinegar?) probably could have resulted in a better choice to drive away in. Don't bite the Crown Vic line.
