Last year in Miami same issue where they didn’t have any Escalades what so ever.

In terms im not sure if Sixt is phasing out the Escalades or what.
And when you say barebones oh boy, do you mean it.

I have driven Sixt's S-Classes in Vegas and their GLS in Maui last week, and boy oh boy I don't even know how they manage to find cars with so few features - I didn't even realise those features were options in such a high-priced car. I feel like it's a special order / extra cost to remove all those features from these cars! No parking sensors, no massaging seats, no seats that turn when you exit ("Easy Entry"), no automatic high beams, no keyless entry, in fact - the GLS I had did not have xenons! I seriously wished I'd have taken the X5, it was probably less de-spec'd.
