The manufacturers have only recently started to shrink their rental fleet program cars and/or make the programs less lucrative for the rental companies (Chrysler was the last to do it--which is why you saw more Dodges and Chryslers last year at the traditionally Ford and GM rental agencies--and it's only been within the last few months), so it'll be another year before we really start to see the effects.
