She called up her manager to check and the manager flatly denied it, well, said that 'dream cars' are excluded from upgrades which was new to me. The manager then offered it to me for $80, then $70. I denied and they offered me a Audi A6, which is also an LCAR according to my paperwork?

So no upgrade, they tried to squeeze me for more money. and then offered me the class I booked and claimed it was an upgrade?

I've yet to have a 'good' experience with LAX
Do you have any status with Sixt?

Also - the S Class is a paid upgrade even for Diamonds. "Large sedans" are. Corvettes aren't. Odd. I wanted to argue, but it was +$17/day so I gave up. heh
