This is kind of funny. I usually reserve a "full size two or four door" through my corp. travel and often get upgraded to an SUV (MPS) or an XM Buick (LAX, BFL). One of the coolest upgrades was a Lincoln Pick-up in DEN.
Anyway, Monday I'm in Tampa and I get a Hundey (sp?) which wasn't any big deal but today in Tulsa I got an Impala LTS WITH XM! Lots of leather on the inside with a Bose radio (or speakers anyway) and on-the-wheel controls. I'm not sure if that qualifies as an official upgrade, but I like it!
I'm a big fan of XM, so if I can get this car more often, I'll be a happy camper.
FWIW
