Maybe you mean the class known as XXAR (Special Special Car)? This generally denotes a compact car or higher. A number of other rental companies use the same designation.

And I might add, before booking this "specialty" vehicle with Advantage as a result of my making a new price request with Autoslash, I booked THRU AUTOSLASH a reservation with Fox at a higher price... when I went to try and cancel the Fox reservation through the Autoslash link, there was NO cancellation option. I emailed Autoslash who said, oh yea, we know, it's a bug, there is no cancellation option, we're trying to get it fixed. They gave me a phone number to call to cancel it, which I did with no issue.
So excuse me if my fuse is a bit short

Yes, as per our previous post it's classed as XXAR or which according to the ACRISS specification is a Special Special. Many rental companies use this designation to denote a compact (or intermediate) car or larger, so it literally could be almost anything they have on the lot. Thrifty calls it Wild Card, Dollar calls it Lock Low & Go or Manager's Special, Alamo calls it Drive Happy Deal.
It's pretty much the same at Advantage. See screenshot from their website:
