If my own personal experience and some anecdotes on here were to be used as gauge....a date like that probably means extremely slim pickings on the aisle due to the major holiday....and big travel for lot of people and lack of cars as well as likely bigger vehicles being reserved/sold out....YMMV of course

Took a Land Rover Discovery Sport the other day. It was a nice drive but slim on options. Exec aisle was full but nothing interesting. I did see a Miata, but it was too small for my needs, otherwise I would have taken it.

Last year (also winter time) I was picking up from LAX and asked for a 4WD, lot attendant said they usually don't have those in SoCal. I ended up taking a FWD Acadia. Not sure if that's changed or not.

Maybe check for SUVs with out of state plates? Surely at least some of them came one-way from a colder state, and thus has AWD? If it's from, say, NJ (easy to find, with obnoxious yellow plates), or CO (also easy to find, red plates with a Rocky Mountain silhouette and FLT written down the side), the mileage might be a lot higher than the other choices, but at least it will meet your needs.

Picked up a 2019 Dodge Charger R/T (150 miles) from EE last Friday 12/21/18. EE was packed full of 2 door muscle cars, both convertible and coupes, Challengers, Mustangs, Camaros. Saw Challenger R/T, Camaro SS, Beetle Turbo Convertibles, Ford Fusion, lots of full size trucks, 4 door and 2 door Jeep Wrangler, and the other usual stuff. Didn't see too many vehicles that carried more than 5 that day.

My mistake, I looked up the vin and it was a regular R/T. I thought since it had launch control it was the scat pack version with the larger 6.4L v8

Pick up 12/22, due to holiday weekend the lot was pretty much empty, 2 challengers and 1 camaro only. Everyone was lining up and waiting for the lot attendant to deliver cars to the lot, ended up with an almost new Infinity Q50 as EE with roundtrip reservation.

What time did you pick up 12/22? I picked mine up around 1:30pm on 12/21 and it was quite full. Crazy how things change so quickly. I’ve found Friday’s afternoon have the best selection due to all the business returns in the morning.

Pretty late at night, between 10 and 11pm. On a side note I had a pretty bad accident in the Q50, the car was towed to pahrump, NV and probably gonna be totaled...

I grabbed a brand new Maxima and as I was pulling out, they were bringing around a BMW SUV. I was two minutes too soon
