Picked up Monday 11/19 a few hours after Yellowjj - nearly 8pm.

ES was completely picked over- only a single cloth Malibu and a single cloth Charger were on the lot.

EA was fairly stocked, but with nothing of any interest. Pretty much every car was a base model.
1x Dodge Journey
1x Fusion
1x Fusion Hybrid
1x Jeep Compass
A few pickup trucks
Tons of Sentras
Other non-notable sedans (Altimas, ect...)

Most of the cars actually appeared to be new or almost new. Ended up taking one off of EA with almost no miles on the odometer.

Lots of brand new 2019 Nissan Altima SRs and 2019 VW Jetta SEs.

Did the Altimas have all-wheel drive?

There is no such thing as an Altima with all-wheel drive.

@dwfb11; The 2019s are optionally equipped with AWD. @m907; I didn't check closely, but I believe they were FWD only.

Thanks - I missed the 2019 part.

Slightly better selection than usual in the afternoon earlier this week. Ford Flex, Chevy Tahoe, Lincoln MKX were the standouts. Other than that, typical National DCA fare. But a little more variety than I usually see.

MKX or new Nautilus? EcoBoosted Flex?

Old 2018 MKX, 20k miles and out of state plates if I recall correctly. I haven't seen the Nautilus in the wild anywhere. Didn't check on the Flex.

I spotted a Nautilus at DTW a few weeks ago, buried 6 cars deep in both directions in the return aisle. Otherwise I would have asked to try it out.

Interesting. I haven't seen one on the road anywhere, much less on a rental lot. Makes sense that Detroit would be the first to have them though.

There was a brand new Nautilus at DCA about a month ago, haven't seen it since.

Only four cars available Sunday afternoon at DCA. The aisles were clogged with returns.

Back again Monday afternoon and they were still working through the returns though each aisle was open. I overheard an employee saying "every car I get in has too many miles," so there must be a limit for what can go on the aisle and the rest go to Enterprise or non-EC members.

Only cars of note were an ugly Nissan Armada and a Mazda MX-5, which I haven't seen on a lot before. It's amazingly tiny. Other than that, a base trim Subaru sedan and wagon, base Mitsubishi SUVs, and the regular Nissans and Fusions.

Interesting selection on Saturday night, mostly because it's a Saturday and in the middle of a snowstorm. There were three Camaros (including a nicely equipped SS with leather) which is unusual at DCA, though they weren't popular in the snow. One VW Beetle convertible. Two 300s and the usual Fusions and Altimas. Only SUVs were a Jeep Compass and a dinky Mitsubishi.

There was also a 300S and a Mazda6 in the upgrade section. I was concerned that they were going to take the 300S out of circulation and start charging for it, but I think they were just there because every other space was full and the third row was clogged with returns.
