I wonder if they're phasing out the "Y" designation entirely. Last month I rented a Focus Titanium, which ordinarily would have been tagged YB but in this case was tagged B. Also had a Cruze Premier which should have been tagged YC but was only tagged C.

Got a Land Rover Discovery Sport instead of an H4 Mercedes-Benz GLC or Range Rover Evoque

Was hoping for a Range Rover - oh well.....

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think it means "special".

In my understanding, "Y" is something of a subclass - usually indicating a higher trim level of a particular vehicle or a vehicle that is in limited supply (ie Honda, Subaru).

For instance, a base model Ford Fusion would be classed "F" but a Fusion Titanium would be classed as "YF". Likewise a Honda Civic or Subaru Impreza would usually be classified as "YC" since they're rare and therefore more highly desirable C class vehicles.

The "Y" is how Hertz could claim you're getting a free upgrade(!) even though they're just tossing you a higher trim level in the same class.

Or I could be because they've made new classes.

Yes when I visited Las Vegas a few weeks back they had a load of brand new gm cars everything from Cruze to Suburban. I did spot a few brand new 2019 transverse at that time and they were tagged as YL.
I had also seen brand new 2019 300S this past weekend at LAX and the awd version are tagged as YI while the red version are tagged as I

I see them frequently at my local airport as well, both the long and short versions. Since we're a counter location they're nearly always reserved for Platinums.
