it doesn’t necessarily mean they’ll be no more 330i’s in fleet; just with this particular buy BMW wasn’t able to give us what we wanted for that category so we moved on to something else. You may see them when the winter fleet comes in again.
Thanks!That's very helpful. I may have some cars to look forward to.

Does this also mean the end of the Chrysler 300s or will they be one last order? I was recently offered a 900KM Chrysler 300 and I was surprised they were still getting it new.

I am really curious but do you manually choose the colors of the car and what options to take in or is it a bit random? I have noticed some cars of the same make/model have different packages on them and I would have thought in fleet orders everything is the same.

Any interesting/changes to the Intermediate SUV coming up or is it still the usual Ford Escapes and Rav 4s? Sometimes I choose this class when there's no other interesting sedans on the lot.

Are there any practical difference between choosing Enterprise vs National vs Alamo at airport locations (beyond the fact that National gives you ES/EA) when its the same parking lot and I assume the exact same fleet? It seems like the price between the three are the same, albeit National is cheaper for me for being an Elite. It seems like even the car returns are processed by the same agents regardless of who you rent from. Some have told me the advantage of Enterprise is that they rent to people with graduated licences (not learners but not full either), but beyond that it doesnt seem like there's much difference and in any event, I cant imagine that being the main distuinghusing feature at shared fleet locations
