PHX's selection was merely "mediocre" rather than the typical "bad" on Sunday night.
The best available cars were a base trim Volvo S60 FWD and 3x base trim Audi A3 FWD. There were a couple GMC Sierras which went quickly so I didn't see the trim level. There was a Mazda CX-90 with "do not rent" written on it because of a problem with the gear shift. The rest of the cars were Malibus, Altimas, and other banal vehicles.
As always, there were plenty of nice cars strewn throughout the rest of the lot but not available on the aisles.

Never been to PHX by I get the sense many times the answer changes if everything is reserved depending on the agent. Not sure though why some agents want to just keep nicer cars sitting on the lot when these cars are bought to be rented as much as possible
