I really hope the Mercedes AMG arrives in NYC by September. By any chance has anyone seen the AMG or any other new prestige vehicle at LaGuardia (LGA)?

Premium

Can anyone give me a current list of premium vehicles (G)?

I feel like Hertz is confused with the Premium class and needs to get their act together. Obviously the Grand Marquis/Crown Victoria days are over and those are going to be phased out (ie the bulk of the premium fleet). The Buick regal is like driving a go-kart with the underpowered 4-cylinder - definately not a premium in my book. I've only had one Maxima and it had no sunroof/leather. The only decent G car i've ever received was an Infiniti G37 sedan out of APF (Naples, FL). I did hear word that they have a couple of Hyundai Genesis floating around here in Florida tagged as G, but they are few and far between.

They also have the Taurus (Yawn). I've heard they also had the Lacrosse. I rented one with National and it is worthy of being called premium, especially with the V6.

The Infiniti G37 isn't G... that's Prestige Collection (you got an upgrade ). The current list is (unfortunately) up to date: Buick Lacrosse, Nissan Maxima, Crown Vic/Grand Marquis, Buick Regal, Ford Taurus. Perhaps the Buick Lucerne is G but I don't know for sure. A Genesis for a PCAR would be a real treat. To be perfectly honest I'd take a fully-loaded Impala LTZ (plenty of which exist as YF) over half of the PCAR fleet, although it's by no means worthy of being Premium.

Check out drzoidberg's ride report for the Lacrosse -- he liked it a lot.

Jz-

The G37 was definitely tagged and showed on my receipt as a G...maybe a mistake? To be honest, I think that a G37 is a good premium vehicle and not really prestigious if you ask me - kind of like the Volvo S60, although I know that's a prestige. I actually had a luxury booked and it was a Town Car which I took a pass on so they downgraded the reservation. I Have rented all of the infiniti line of Hertz cars and only have seen one G37 in my travels.

You sure it was G and not G4? Actually now that I think about it, it could be a sub-division of premium (sort of like the D4 Mustang is a cheap upsell from D, or F6 (Camry) from F). Although its ACRISS code is XSAR which doesn't have "premium" anywhere in it (XSAR = special sport automatic unspecified fuel, A/C), and it's reservable in the Prestige Collection. I'm leaning towards it being a mistake but that's the coolest mistake I've ever seen

I looked back at the receipt and it says G4 - you were right. For some reason I recall seeing just G on the tag, but irregardless, still not an I.

I picked up a newly-redesigned 2013 Altima with 11 miles on the odometer at BOS this morning. There were at least five of these on the lot. Key tag says F6.

WOAH

I wish the Cayenne and the Range Rover just be Prestige Collection instead of being part of the Supercars line...
