I was there about a month ago, arriving on a Thursday mid-morning. Inventory was thin and uninteresting, to say the least. Mostly small stuff with 30k on the odometer, even in EE. I spied a couple pick-ups and inquired but was told they were "reserved." I ended up taking a Passat with about 3,200 miles on it. Though it's not the same as the Euro-spec version that's much better (which is also a Skoda Octavia, I think, that I drove in Croatia), I had plenty of room for my 6'4, 270 self, it had good power, was quiet, got 30+ MPG on the highway, and had Apple Car Play. Meh, considering the way things are today, it was good.

Next week, I'm arriving on Tuesday mid-morning and I'm expecting that I'll have to negotiate for anything besides a Nissan Rogue, if they even have any of those.
