Now that Chevrolet is going to end production of Hertz Fleet staples like the Cruze and Impala (along with Ford ending the Focus, Fusion, and Taurus), I'm hopeful for a little more diversity in the sedan car classes. That being said, the options are growing more limited!

Yeah, it sounds to me like that’ll lead to less diversity. We’ll just be left with Nissan, Toyota, and Hyundai/Kia.

I'll miss the Impala, rather liked it. Problem for GM is that, at retail, everybody who is in the market for a larger vehicle ends up buying an SUV or Crossover.

I think some of them will survive specifically as rental fleet vehicles. Chevy kept making the last-gen Impala for several years after the new one came out for rental fleets and other company fleets. They even carried 2016 and 2017 model year names. In fact, I saw one in a Hertz airport lot and another at an Avis lot just this year. And the Dodge Grand Caravan was supposed to die with the Chrysler Pacifica release but they're still going strong, on National lots especially. They still sell them to customers too.

The Fusion is confirmed to continue production for at least a couple years. I would not be surprised if GM continues limited production runs on the Cruze and Impala for rental fleets to appease critics like the Trump administration for slashing jobs.

In this case, it looks like they're gone for good. The Cruze sedan is built exclusively at a plant in Ohio which is being completely shut down. It's conceivable the Cruze hatchback could stick around since it's imported from Mexico and IIRC will be sold internationally. The Impala and LaCrosse plants are also shuttering, although some Buick production may be shifting to China since Buicks are huge sellers there. In the case of Prior gen Impala/Cruze/Malibu and the Dodge vans, those plants remained open to build other vehicles.

You're probably right - I'm just saying it wouldn't be unprecedented for one of them to survive.

I'm now seeing Chevy Malibu listed as the FCAR, but with a picture of a Dodge Charger.

If you reserved a Prestige Collection vehicle and they don't have the one you reserved, what do they offer in lieu of? I have a group S4 (IRAR).

Usually it will either the Escalade or GLS450 for airport location.
For HLE I’ve had group T/T6 plus compensation of some sort.

IIRC they said that some plants producing those models are going to shut down.

Hopefully that means it will be more commonly available. I've only seen it once and that was as a paid upgrade.
