I've also been upgraded on the Grand Marquis and I don't like how big it is especially in NYC. I never thought about going into downgrade back to my original Taurus.

Here is my last month of rentals...

2/26-3/2
- SNA
- Intermediate (C)
- Neverlost
- No, stuck with a lousy Corolla

3/6-3/9
- MCI
- Intermediate (C)
- None
- Grand Marquis (G)

3/13-3/16
- ATL
- Intermediate (C)
- None
- Cadillac Deville (I)

3/27-3/30
- SNA
- Intermediate (C)
- Neverlost
- Grand Prix (F)

Have been really disappointed with SNA as PC. The week I got upgraded to a Grand Prix, a co-worker who is only 5-Star got upgraded to an Escalade from class C.

MSP
Midsize
"upgraded" to Rendezvous

Didn't have time to trade out for something else. Big, blocky, just watched the gas gauge drop fast while fighting a headwind for 250 miles @ 80 mph. Won't be accepting this one again.
