Never thought of it like that as the gas price was certainly lower than back home in California. But I can say when I was at OGG most people were trying to get SUV's or Jeep's that it was almost a mad dash as those were the vehicle of choice on Maui with the Aisle. At HNL, The agent seemed pretty open to what I would like so I (thankfully) didn't feel pressured into taking the SUV. My Tiguan was parked in one of the stalls marked "Executive" with a stall number, however, as there is no "official" Aisle I am not sure if these signs just denote the vehicles for Executive Members as they are parked closer to the elevator? I was the only one there at the time so couldn't quite compare to the experience of others. I will say the breakdown of vehicles I saw as I was driving out of the garage was about 1/3 SUV's or Higher End Vehicles, 1/3 Sedans, and about 1/3 Convertibles or other Sporty Type vehicles. I wasn't offered a higher end vehicle or convertible, however I didn't ask either. She did make it should like I could have my pick of the litter (as long as it wasn't Exotic) though and was very friendly in listing what they had that she thought I would like. Overall it was much better than I was expecting or used to at a non-aisle location.

We had a LCAR also and got a BMW 5 series. I loved it!

Pretty good selection this past Wednesday 8/4 about 4pm. No aisle here so everyone gets to visit the counter. Quick and friendly service.

I had an LCAR and an FCAR reservation since I didn’t know what to expect. Was offered 330i for the former and a Tiguan or Altima for the latter.

Other cars in their lineup included:
Compass
Maxima
Atlas
Grand Cherokee
LR Discovery
Mustang Convertible
Caravan
Rogue

Visited on 10/22 at around 8:30pm. Booked Luxury, there were 1 X3, 1 Cadillac XTS, they told me they have Jaguar and Land Rover but I didn’t see them myself. In the end I took X3.

Anyone tried the emerald aisle that just opened? Do we need to stop at the desk?

Just returned from a trip - used the emerald aisle, did not have to stop by the desk. Very quick and easy. I don't remember specifically if there were vans, perhaps you can try calling, but they definitely had some SUVs that were available!

Checked in January 14 with a luxury reservation. I walked up to the counter, and in the background I saw 3 Range Rover Velars, 2 BMW X3's, and 1 Mercedes GLC300. Also saw a brand new Wagoneer, which I did kind of want to try, but figured what's the point of getting such an enormous vehicle for just me and my girlfriend. Needless to say, I think we made the right choice

What's with all the pick-up trucks in the EE aisle? Picked up Thursday evening (2/10) and the EE selections were paltry. More than half the vehicles were pick-up trucks. Settled for a RAV4, but quite surprised by the number of pick-ups.

Well, spent a few minutes typing up a detailed post that the forum promptly ate when I clicked "post," so going with brevity this time around.

Picked up on Monday (2/28) in the afternoon. Executive had a few full size sedans (Altima SR, Camry SE, Passats, Impala) and crossovers (RAV4 and Tiguan). Emerald had Altimas and Camry LEs.

Had a Full Size SUV (wanted to try the new Tahoe) and was escorted to the area by an agent with the keys. Picked a '22 Tahoe LT with 1k miles (several '21s available, all LT). Was also offered an Armada or a prev-gen Escalade.

Picked up Feb 24th
Reserved Convertible class, had 3 mustang I4T's (Red white silver) waiting and a Camaro (silver)
Ended up taking the red one because red makes you faster obviously. 2020 model with 21k miles, it has seen some better days. some interior pieces were broken and the steering wheel is shiny from all the hands and cleaning products.

Enterprise exotics had a BMW Z4/Toyota Supra
PS had BMW 7 series, and maserati Ghibli
EA/ES Can't remember too much but off the top of my head there was a subaru crosstrek, CX5 and the ususal suspects as well.

Side note, staff was pleasant and helpful however did find a cleaning bottle in the car and an empty glasses case that was missed.
Also the rear window doesn't go all the way up when the top is up. When i inquired i was told that they all did that -shrugs-

they “all” don’t. I’ve had 3 mustangs and only 1 did. Just pull it up with your hand and it’ll be good. I can’t stand laziness (the staff. Not you lol)

LOL that's okay, in their defense, the staff did tell me to just pull it up with my hand, i just omitted that because i didn't feel like it was necessary. On the bright side the small crack does provide some ventilation on hot days.
