The fairly small Executive section had decent selection of SUV's: Edge Titanium w/Pano sunroof, Tiguan, Explorer, Rogue along with a few Grand Caravans, Impalas and Fusions.
EA had a few Rogues, Escapes and RAV4's
Upgrade section had a 911 cabrio and Jag F-pace (seeing both for the 1st time at National).
I took the Edge and it was a nice ride with the giant sunroof, cooled leather seats, nav, and 2L Turbo. Only the fuel economy was subpar.

I rented a car on a Saturday morning.
It was a surreal experience. National, Alamo, and Enterprise were all combined. Nothing in the Executive Isle, you had to go inside, where they confirmed your reservation and sent you to a person outside.
I had a choice between two Jeeps, a Cherokee and a Wrangler. That was it. There was a mini van, but they said that would be an upgrade and wouldn't give it to me. Opted for the Cherokee.

Not terribly recent but I picked up here in Nov. There was only 2 cars in the Aisle and some people had to wait for a car. It was an early Monday afternoon for what its worth.

Was just there around 8pm on Friday 9/9. Lot was completely packed and overflowing with vehicles. They were telling all National customers to select anything from the combined EA/EE area. I saw two VW Atlas, 1 Jeep Grand Cherokee, 1 Durango GT, many Ford Escape and Edges, a few altimas many Chrysler Pacificas (even a few hybrids) and a Wagoneer Series II that I selected. It had 12k miles and was a fantastic rental. I’m sure there was more but traveling with family I was looking for something big and comfortable and stopped looking after I spotted the Wagoneer

Picked up 10/25 at 11pm. There was one single vehicle available - a dodge ram 1500, other then that I was offered a ford transit 15 passenger van. Was not happy with that. The person working said take it or leave it.
There was two vehicles in the exotic section - looked like 2x electric porsche - as soon as I even looked over there I was told they were off limits.
Not the best experience.
