Someone told me that Hertz will no longer be getting Jags.
Also find it sad that the Cadillac XLR is no longer on the list.
Heh, I missed the X400 one. I've seen the Jag rumor floated around here as well. Unless Ford has built some incentive into the deal, the independent Hertz has no particular incentive to stick with Ford vehicles (including the premiums in the Prestige line like Jag, Volvo, etc.) apart from tradition. I think so far it has been too early to see what effect this will have, but I don't know. In my experience the fleet is quite a hodgepodge of stuff anyway, many more different things than just the representative models on the list, of course.
Was the XLR on the previous list? I don't think it's necessarily gone just because it's not here.
As for the Pacifica, according to the "List your free upgrades" thread, it's Q6, which puts it with the midsize SUVs. Actually getting one is going to vary by station as always. The one reported was at DCA in June.
