The makes/models are examples of what you could get not necessarily what you would get if you had a reservation for that class unless it explicitly said, "Reserve this Exact Model". That may not be what you want to hear, but that's the way it works with Hertz.
I am well aware of the difference. I am also guessing you are aware even the reserve this exact model concept is something Hertz has trouble standing behind.

Your statement that "these makes/mdoels are examples of what you could get" is precisely false and the essence of my issue here. There was zero chance that I could get a Velar or anything else classified at the K4 level because they don't exist at the location and haven't for sometime, and yet they are still advertised.
