Maxima and Taurus are PCAR. The Impalas with backup camera are PXAR. So it seems to me you had some PCAR or above rentals.

What you really get depends on the location. I've gotten the Cadillac SUV once on a $20 ICAR reservation at a smaller airport location (agent said pick any car since they don't have ES aisle). I've gotten the Buick Enclave a few times at airport locations by asking. The local location I'm renting the most from does not normally upgrade but since I rent frequently, I was able to grab a Mercedes a number of times. The two airport locations I rent the rest of the time from almost always has some 300C in the ES aisle. However someone mentioned above that he/she rarely saw a 300C in ES.
