Doesn't the Q50 have a turbo?

Welcome to FlyerTalk
It’s hard (impossible?) for me to get an Audi/BMW/Merc without a turbo lately.

Thanks!

QX50, sorry, fixed.

Nissan/Infiniti has lagged behind in the “everything turbocharged” bandwagon, presumably because they’ve been busy developing their new VC-Turbo engine (which will soon be in everything they offer if it proves reliable).

I waited an hour, passing over Hyundai, Kia, base model F150s, minivans, couple QX50s, tons of Nissan Armadas, a few Suburbans and Excursions. Ended up getting a Durango from the 'locked' aisle behind EA as a compromise offered by the attendant when I saw the EE and EA aisles were emptying out and not being replenished. Plenty of Cadillacs and SUVs in the "locked" aisle. Also seems there is a dedicated row of cars on back wall for other purposes as mentioned in previous posts.

Overall worst selection I've experienced in my ~1 year membership, but I'm picky - if it doesn't have a turbo, I'm not interested.
Excursion? You mean Expedition?

Fixed. I only saw the front - looked massive and different than anything I'd ever seen, I assumed they had re-released the Excursion. Might as well be. Wonder if it's bigger than the original Excursion.

This morning at around 9:30 am the Executive aisle had a base Corola, base Sentra, Santa Fe Sport, 4 Hyundai Tucsons, Fusion Hybrid, Nissan Frontier SV, Dodge Grand Caravan and a Lincoln MKX which I took. Emerald Aisle had 2 Mitsubishi Mirages. Who would pick those? Or the Corolla and Sentra from the Executive aisle.

Economy cars on the Emerald Aisle and Mid-Size on the Executive Aisle?

Sounds like Corporate is still trying to live up to the shizzy reputation of this location under Midwest Car Corp...

Maybe it's the same staff? Just different management and cars?

Now that it is corporate owned, would it be worthwhile to call National and complain? On National's web site it says that Executive aisle has cars Full Size and above (are Rogue, Tucson etc above full size) and Emerald aisle is Midsize or above.
The cars at this location generally have higher mileage than what I have seen at other locations. There was an Impala Premier last week with 52k miles.

At around 9:30 am today, picked up a Mustang Convertible with 22k miles from the Executive Aisle, I also saw a Beetle Convertible in the Emerald Aisle. I didn't pay attention to the rest of the cars, but looked to be mostly SUVs and vans.

The location seems to have rotated out most of the Chevrolet products, but seems to have rather limited inventory, and the customer service is still very poor and very slow at all interactions (check in and exit booth). I am talking like 10 minutes at the exit booth to process the rental. I have no CLUE how it can take that long. Definitely still felt like Midwest Car Corp.

First time renting from this location.

Executive Selection this morning wasn't remarkable.

Chevy Impala, Nissan Frontier, Nissan Altima, Kia Sorento.
I snagged a 2019 Cadillac XT5 as soon as it was brought out.

Not much of a selection this past Monday in Executive. Mostly lower trim Altimas, with one low trim Maxima, a bunch of Hyundai SUVs, a few smaller Chevy SUVs, a Jeep Wrangler 4-door and one Cadillac XTS that was already claimed when I got there. Even had some Elantras out, which definitely didn't seem like an Executive Aisle product. Similar selection (minus the XTS) when walking through post-return.

Nice to see no more Chevy, Chevy, Chevy.......

ES selection much better than the past but still hard to find anything “nice”.

Couple months back asked the greeter is there was anything real nice and ended up with a new BMW X2.

Nice sporty ride but not good on rough road surfaces.
