EA had a '13 Fusion SE (with base engine), a 200 convertible, and the usual Malibus and Impalas.
You mean a Fusion SE with the base 2.5L engine?

Yes, no ecoboost badge on the back. Oddly, it did have a sunroof.

I wanted to take it until I realized it had the 2.5L and no myFordTouch.

Wed. Jan. 30, ~10pm: worse than DAY.

EA: Jetta, Jetta Wagon, misc. garbage (e.g. 200s)
ES: some small SUVs (don't want SUVs)
Passat: several low-trim versions
Altima: a few '13 models
some other ordinary stuff (Impala, Malibu, etc.)

Did my usual aimless exploring and saw the two G37xs parked near the garage/booth area. Went inside to ask and was quoted $30/day extra (from full size using 1-2-free days). Went for it.

I've driven the G37x a few times in the mid-west, but I should avoid it in the northeast, as it's too much fun.

Not my intention to doubt you, but interesting that the [highly touted] redesign into the '13 Avalon would be in rental fleets already. Are you sure it wasn't a '13 Camry (front design is similar) or '12 Avalon?

Definitely a '13 Avalon XLE. Only had 200 miles. I actually commented on it to the manager that happened to walk by and he said they just got it and he hasn't had the chance to drive it yet.

I would have taken it if it wasn't for the fact that we just got over a foot of snow and I wanted something with better ground clearance.

Where is the G37x in the ES all the time? I've only ever received it with a full size res. on a one-way out of CMH (Chevy dealer) and a new rental with the same car at CVG (as in drive in, close the rental, ask "can I keep the same car?", and leave with the same car).

It's not. He just likes to complain about National, especially the east coast locations.
