Ooh nice, any idea if the new MKZs are equipped with the giant retractable panoramic roof?

I'm surprised they're making it to rental fleets now given the MKZ's recent supply troubles.

I'm firmly convinced that they hide all these cars any time they know I'm headed to FLL.

Don't they hide them on the Alamo side and upsell them instead?

Didn't get a chance to see the roof. The car was covered in plastic. I'll keep you posted.

I sure hope not. LOL! But majority of the time they are on the Alamo specialty.

I've never seen a hybrid here - it's about time they get some in stock.

I had such bad luck here the other day - the two cars I wanted were there, but unattainable

1 Ford Fusion hybrid - being held for someone
1 2013 Avalon - some nitwit took the key from the car sitting on the aisle and left with it

At least the greeter was nice enough to call down and ask for alternatives, then arranged for another 300 (my default car) to come up.

Do the MKZs have the panoramic roofs? Are they being ordered with AWD?

I just booked a reservation for about a month from now (arriving on a Wednesday, middle of the day). This will be my first time renting from National at FLL. What's the layout like (pics)? I'm usually a frequent renter at BOS, and they treat me right there. Last rental w/ them was a Cadillac SRX. I'm hoping for a minivan, and I am ES eligible. Thanks!
