I was checking my rates today and noticed it seems they've changed one of the Prestige SUV classes a bit, they now have "Standard Elite, SUV, Automatic, Air (Group T4) RFAR (T4) Cadillac XT5", the wiki lists the Mercedes ML/GLE as the previous cars in this class, but those are a bit bigger than the XT5 I believe (the GLC would be comparable in the MB lineup I believe). They also still have "Infiniti/Cadillac Crossover (Group K4) JGDR (K4) Infiniti QX70" which is where the SRX used to be, I suppose they may still have the SRX in the fleet even though the XT5 has replaced it in the Cadillac lineup.
I own a GLA45 and I regularly drive a GLC 43 Coupe, although it's small it's quite a nice little SUV. However I believe the hertz one is only the GLA250.
Size difference wise, there's a pretty big difference, so I wouldn't accept a GLA if I had paid for a GLC. Saying all that, the only ones I have seen in the US fleet (LAX/MIA/JFK) have been the GLA250 and the GLE350. I have seen a few Evoques but few and far between.
The "Standard Elite, SUV, Automatic, Air (Group T4) RFAR (T4) Cadillac XT5" was a nice glitch, I used it at MIA for a 10 day rental for only $450 saying it was a GLE before they updated it to the XT5. I'm too young to take out a GLE so they gave me the Audi which for 10 days was still great value. Especially as I put 4000 miles on it.
