Hoping someone can help here with my decision...

PREMIUM CLASS
Mercedes-Benz GLC or similar
SUV | LFAR

PREMIUM CLASS
BMW 4 Series Convertible or similar
Convertibles | LTAR

I'd really like to book one of these 2 cars, but I'm curious if this is a bit of bait-and-switch? If I book the LTAR, is it likely I'd actually receive a 4-series convertible? Or are other cars in that class things like a Mustang convertible?

I normally just go with National and pick my favorite car on the lot, but these rates are enticing if their fleet truly is what they're indicating on the website.

Thanks in advance!
Since Sixt segments their car categories so much, it is pretty hard for a bait-and-switch in my opinion.

LTAR - Luxury convertible - BMW 4-series, Audi A5 -- Probably will get either one since I have seen a good mix of both in the fleet up here in SJC.

LFAR - Luxury SUV - Mercedes GLC, Cadillac SRX, BMW X3, Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Audi Q5 -- I have only seen the GLC, XT5, and X3 at SJC.

Up here in the Bay Area, it seems like the fleet is now more Cadillac than German cars. Might be the same thing in LAX.

I would roll the dice and go for a LFAR, and hope to get upgraded as a plat into a XFAR.
