Pretty boring recently. Vanilla sedans, Nissans, etc. Compact to midsize SUVs, almost everything in base trims. Chevy Equinox is about where it tops out, only thing larger I've seen there recently is a 4 Runner. There's frequently been a 2-door or two (Challenger, etc.) when I swing through. Sometimes a pickup, but usually not a crew cab. Even if you rent up, selection is poor and trims are still pretty basic. Every time I've rented up to a nicer SUV they've almost always been Audis and must be base trim as well because they drive like dogs. I had to practically beg and then they found an XT6. PHL is one of the locations I like the least these days... but I've tried Avis as a President's Club member and every time, without fail, they want to put me in a Chrysler 300 without fail and then offer paid upgrades to minivans.
