Is Pontiac Vibe a Mid-size SUV?
 

I reserved a mid-size suv at SFO airport budget for 2 weeks. I did the reservation at budget.com. At buudget.com, it shows the mid-size suv will be Ford Escape or similiar. In the vehicle specification of Escape at budgt.com, it shows it is AWD and 6 cylinder. But When I called the airport budget, I was told that they only have one or two escape so I will be lucky if I can get an Escape when I pick up the car, but mostly I will get a Pontiac Vibe instead.

Is Vibe even considered a SUV? It is only 4-cylinder w/o 4wd. Can I do sth about this or I can only accept what they assign me on the pick-up day?

thanks.

I recently rented two mid-size SUVs from budget at SFO. First time long wait for any car. No Escape, they asked do you want a Taurus? I said no and about 10 minutes later the gave me a new Explorer instead (free upgrade ^ ). Second rental was 2 weeks ago. Rental counter was quiet and again no Escapes :eek: No upgrade this time, got the Vibe. It actually wasn't that bad. Good thing was drove all weekend and only used $25 worth of gas. It was easy to park. I noticed at the counter the fleet chart said something like; not all mid-size SUV's are 4 wheel drive. This summer had a mid SUV rental in Spokane and got Buick Rendezvous. I wasn't sure if this was an upgrade or not. It was brand new.
