12/23 around 0730 - EA and ES were pretty packed. Both had a sea of Altimas and Malibus and a few Camrys hanging around, ES also had a few G70, CT4, Chargers, an Accord, nothing German on the aisle, Both sides had a few Ford/GM/Toyota pickups in varied low to modest spec.. A few large SUVs hanging out in the shadows, maybe reserved and almost no CUVs. Upgrade had an S60 and a Defender - the latter may have been cool, but for a $40/day upcharge, I passed.








My "luxury" reservation netted me a GXAR 2024 A5 Sportback from the VIP section - maybe medium trim level, only ~1400 miles on it, so still fairly fresh. I had time to look around as virtually no other customers were there yet, the friendly agent said the A5 was the best thing there for me. What looked like a 2er GC arrived as I was leaving: Edit: in looking at specs online I believe this is the 45 TFSI Premium Plus model (and the keychain tag codes contain "45 PP").

I was there around lunchtime 12/23, with a midsize reservation. I was hoping for a 3 row SUV 4WD but they were oversold, only had available sedans and a few trucks.

SEA 12/27 returned car at ~1400 - pretty sparse. A smattering of Altibus in both EA and ES, similar or maybe the same Defender and a XC90 on in the upgrade area. No cars at all in VIP, spotted nothing unusual or premium on either ES or EA. I am sure someone will be happy when my A5 (nice car, had no issues, pleasure to drive) returns to the fleet, also saw maybe an A3 in the return line behind me.

The 45 is fast and has a nice engine note. The 40 lags and the motor sounds like a lawn mower.
