I went through JFK yesterday. No sign of any Land Rovers or Infiniti QX60s, but there were 2 brand new Ranger Rover Sports. Several Escalades in the upgrade section.

For an intermediate reservation, I was assigned a 2017 Subaru Legacy AWD. About 2k mi when I picked it up, tagged YF, with PA plates. Heated seats and AWD were much appreciated this weekend in the Northeast

Also saw a 2017 Corvette, tucked away in a dark corner. I didn't get a close look at it, but from a distance it definitely looked like a Z06/Grand Sport- wider rear quarter panels, front splitter, and a wickerbill rear spolier. I spoke with the guy who was parking it, he said they have it on a one-month lease, window sticker is about $70k (presumptively a decently optioned Stingray, or a base Grand Sport) and it was delivered with 6 mi on the odometer earlier in the week. Didn't know what specific trim it was. Regarding the upgrade fee, he said Gold is pretty firm on getting at least $499/day for it, regardless of class reserved or status, and it comes with unlimited miles. I'm guessing its a Grand Sport with the 8 speed auto.
