XC70 was a changeup. It was the 3.2 loaded with everything but Satnav and active Sirius. Heated seats front and rear were nice for the nighttime trip back from the farm.

Doesn't sound like a whole lot to look forward to! Flying into BWI Friday at 8PM....hoping the staff is friendly, and maybe willing to get me something else.

Ea: Must have been Ford Fusion day at BWI, they had almost 10 of them out. Also several Altimas, Impalas, and Malibus. There were a couple of Jettas, some Avengers, a Mazda6 and a Dodge Nitro. Of note: a few Chrysler 200s, base models, brand new.
Es: more of the same except several full size SUVs (yukons) and a few pickup trucks (1 Silverado and 1 Colorado). Also saw an Endeavor.
Premium/lux was a Regal Cxl. I asked, no Volvos.
After walking around for a while I had resigned myself to a 300 mile 200, when an attendant pulled up a 2012 Terrain SLT1 with the V6, Chrome Appearance package and working xm. They actually had several Terrain SLEs (base models) with the 4 cylinder but that didn't appeal to me. Mine only has 1200 miles on it! Too bad I won't be able to use the huge sunroof this weekend.

In that case, I definitely had an SLT2.

Last Thursday was a cluster....
Return slots were backed up to that really sharp initial turn with the plastic retaining walls.
ES was absolutely wiped out with only SUVs (I'm not a truck person so didn't pay much attention), a Grand Marquis (same one that's been sitting there for the past... month I bet), a Passat, and a Ford Taurus Limited without keys.
EA
EA was the usual and well stocked with midsize GM and Ford sedans. No new cars ala Focus and Soul.
I saw and took the infamous FCAR/PXAR/...CAR Kia Optima (1000 miles!). Just as I was driving out a fleet of ES cars dropped in -- Altima, XC70, and I think a Buick.

I was in a hurry so didn't really look around the lot.
Aisle and ES were very wiped out. Return aisles chock full. Only car I saw of any consequence was a base level Rogue. Premium had a CTS sedan but the doors were locked. Premium also had an XC70 which I took, and a Taurus Limited. On my way out I spotted a 9-3 as well. Enjoying the XC but the last renter wore way too much cologne and the my hands stink from touching the steering wheel!

Monday 5am
They had just about everything including 2 solid rows of Tahoes and Suburbans. EA and ES were jam packed with standard National offerings ( Altimas, 200s, Impalas, Malibus, etc). Premium had a Smart car (really?), Cadillac CTS, 2 Lucernes, a 2011 300, and a Saab 9-3.
I also noticed some kind of new "executive VIP" section. They had peoples' names on placards on the cars parked immediately to the left as you exit the rental car building. Oddly these so-called VIPs were being given Camrys and Altimas!
