Also don't expect it to be new or low-mileage -- they, like the Crown Victoria, are rare for a reason.
I will echo marvanit's sentiment and suggest you rent elsewhere if you haven't been happy with Hertz. I'd say there's less than a 5% chance they will have one in your region. They used to be spotted more occasionally in California.

Yeh I'm just gonna give up on it lol, I have this sneaky feeling the price would be ridiculous if they actually get one in, or more then likely they don't and I'm stuck with X car at way way higher prices then the other rental companies. Plus the extra cost of being "full size" for a much smaller car and whatever adjustment they make for being "green" pry negate the cool mpg/range. Wish Enterprise had Cruze Diesels in their fleet.
thanks guys, seems even from searching on here I see post or elsewhere online of people (like my buddy) renting a car and just getting a Jetta tdi and not even knowing it untill filling up first time and some cases some said the company never gave them a tdi lol .... well what do you call that Jetta out there that's been filled with diesel and says tdi ha
