What should I expect? I'm hoping for an XC60 or an Audi with my "two class upgrade". I suppose that's pretty unlikely?
Haven't been to PDX lately, but:
1. XC60s are few and far between at large Avis lots. And they're all the old body style, so I avoid them like the plague. They're so bare bones that I'd much rather have a Fusion over them. If you can find/snag an XC90, they're the real gem of the Avis fleet and I've never been told no to one. Most agents don't realize how nice they are compared to most other things on their lot.
2. I've only seen Audis in Canada, so I'd doubt you'll find one in PDX. And there, they're extra basic A4s or Q3s. Again, after having one of these, I'd never take it again.
