San Diego

Ultimate Choice at San Diego yesterday afternoon. Very random selection as Gold and below seemed better stocked than 5*/PC.

Premium Upgrade section was completely packed - easily 30-40 cars to choose from. You name it, they had it.

PC and 5* were looking a little thin. Lots of empty spaces. The usual array of Sonatas, Camrys, Malibus, Altimas, a few old-style Impalas, and a couple of Buick Veranos. No smaller cars and not a single SUV or Premium/Luxury car to be found except in their respective aisles, the "reserved" spaces, and upgrades. Nicest car might have be an old-style Impala LTZ.

Gold section was completely full with a somewhat more interesting selection than 5*/PC. Variety of low-mileage F cars, only one lone Hyundai, and a better selection of smaller cars (including several brand new '17 Cruzes) and a fully loaded Buick Regal.

Full size section was completely full, Intermediate and Compact sections were almost empty. Since they were running short on small cars they were mixing Standard and Full cars into the Intermediate section with no upgrade charge. Ended up grabbing a Jetta out of the Intermediate section since it's a car I've always been curious about. No fuss from the exit gate.
