Not a single V6 or V8 option or anything with leather seats. Most of these cars would be EA level at LAX or elsewhere. I picked up the Malibu LT because it has only 2 miles on it and I knew it had android auto. I'm only renting for a day, so I did not ask for anything better.
Not to pile on, but generally BWI is probably the worst large airport location. The selection is always mediocre on the Exec aisle, i.e. Impala LT is something to get excited about. Lack of cars is also a recurring theme. It's another reason, along with the pathetic shuttle service to even get to the rental car center, to avoid BWI.
