I guess, but sometimes the list of what they show and don't can be really random. Wouldn't they WANT to show me high-end vehicles, since I might think "hey, if it's only $X more, maybe I will take that Land Rover?"

I just pulled a random weekend at LGA, and selected Show Me All. It's showing me the whole Prestige Collection, and a bunch of SUVs, but the ABCDF are all "Select for Quote." OK, I guess that makes sense, make me click through for the regular cars, but show me the higher-end stuff. Why, then, is the S4 (Infiniti QX80), which is part of the Prestige Collection, listed as "Select for Quote"? It seems completely random. Similarly, it's showing a price for L, but not for L4. Really just bizarre, there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.
