how do rental companies determine which trim lines to buy?
I notice it is easy to get high trim lines in American cars. In Japanese cars it depends on the manufacturer. Nissan, yes. Toyota, no. (I don't see enough Mazdas to be able to make a conclusion, nor Subarus).
In German manufacturers like BMW they give you a stripped-down car.
Is it based on how much they get it for (presumably American cars are cheaper), how much the resale value holds, or something else?
