SUV cheaper than Compact?

So, I'm Hertz Gold like many.. I'm a frequent customer, but this one has me stumped... I booked a 4 day rental 3 weeks ago pickup/drop off TPA. The rates were somewhat pricey at the time, $38 for a compact class and up from there. As it's a short trip, I went ahead and booked the compact rate. Today, for some reason I went in and chose to modify my reservation. When I went back to the list of vehicle classes and prices, Midsize SUV was $1 less per day than my current compact rate. Naturally, I switched classes and reconfirmed. I went thru the entire list, and the Midsize SUV was the cheapest option available -- cheaper than all of the rates listed (Compact, Interm, Full Size Sedan, etc).

Is this a glitch? I could understand if it was a one way rental and they had an influx of SUVs they needed to get moved to somewhere.. but a standard round trip? Seems like an error that I lucked out on.

Anyone have a similar situation?
