I can't even remember the last time I've been here (EE) and didn't drive off in either an Audi, a BMW, or an Infiniti. Sometimes you have to pester the guy walking the lot, but they give up the goods quickly.

Heading to LAX this week. Newly EC Exec via Amex Plat...do they walk you out to the aisle? Don't have the option of going on your own and picking whatever you want? And is there a separate Exec Elite area that I'll be shunned from?

There are no escorts, you will walk the aisle on your own and select the car you wan't. If you are a legitimate Executive Elite, you can choose from either the Executive Aisle or the Emerald Aisle, but not any of the speciality aisles, those are off-limits except where you are taking a car from the specific category you reserved.

I have an Alamo LCAR booked a week Friday at 19:00. Is there any chance of a CTS instead of an XTS, or something better from upstairs if I ask nicely? (I guess there's no CT6 or Continentals yet)
Can I sign up for Emerald Club without renting from National?

You could have waited a day or so to sign up for Emerald Club with a referral link during the start of the annual 1-2 Free promotion. This would have allowed the lucky referrer to get a referral bonus towards a free day, which can be used for an expensive one-way.
