COS:
Reserved Std SUV
and recieved
Mitsubushi Endevor (Std SUV)
Maybe because of my one way to DEN they did not want to upgrade me?
MCO:
Reserved Std size car
and recieved
Mercury Grand Marquis
Not a bad car, they held steadfast to their 2-car upgrade. Tried to get a Caddy or Lincoln but they said that is all I am entitled to was the Grand Marquis. I guess one can't argue with them following their own rules....

Received Pontiac Gran Prix
BTW, hate the Gran Prix. Seat is too low to the ground. Had everyone's headlights in my eyes via the side and rearview mirrors.

Haha... I think it's a little unfair for the Chairman's members to post their upgrades 
The Volvo S60 was a great choice before they axed it as a CHM upgrade. I didn't find the CTS to get better mileage than the DTS.. but at least it's smaller. At this point, I don't even know what to suggest anymore.

Nice car, smaller than the DTS but actually seemed a bit spartan. Easier to drive and park in the city though. Sirius radio, heated seats.

Nah, I actually requested a 300 or the Volvo, hoping for the Volvo but realizing it's generally not available for upgrade. Any suggestions?
Maybe I'll request the CTS next time.

EWR: President's Club
Reserved: Full Size
Upgrade:..... Grand Marquis but switched it to a 300 Touring.
Had the Grand Marquis all last week in MCO so I wanted something a bit different. Only a one car upgrade though
. They were over booked on Luxury's....I guess par for the course for EWR on a monday night.

Didn't like the Beetle at all, the A4 was fun, the Milan was surprisingly good... good enough that I'm considering buying one, the Subaru was a fine machine, the XLT sucked... and I cringed at having to pay $80 to fill it, the xB was funky and had a good stereo... it was a good lil' moving van, the Aztec.. I'm just glad I didn't have to see it while I drove it, the FX was my first upgrade and it was a damed good one, the CTS... it's an American BMW (which isn't a bad thing), and the Yukon.... worst car to drive in San Francisco.

The only thing missing was an E-ZPass. The chick working the tollbooth was not amused when in response to her request for the $.80 toll, I handed her $100.
