Both Hyatt Diamond and Starwood Plat will get you Sixt Diamond status. As as the cheapest site to rent through is concerned, I can't give you any answer.
Since signing up with Sixt all of my car rentals have been in the States and I have stuck with Hertz there. Sixt is best in Europe -- especially Germany.

It seems Sixt recently changed their rates around and decided to use a calculator (notice the decimals) to figure in the 35% discount.

I got it from the www.sixt.de
I also logged in with my Platinum number and was able to compare the rates. Now, it does show the Platinum rates are cheaper than the regular rates.. however, it does seem the regular rates include CDW (up to 950,€ liability) and the Platinum rates do NOT include CDW.
The first column is regular and the second column is what I got for my Sixt Platinum.

Correct. I will keep renting thru Sixt and then switch over to Europcar next year if this continues.
Too bad Sixt doesn't do points.

I always book a compact with Sixt and up to now, as a Sixt Plat, never left any Sixt rental station with anything less than a BMW 3-series or Merc B/C Class.. two times even upgraded to a SLK cabrio.
And yepp, usually never using the 35% discount rate, but always one of the special promotions from their websites (including CDW) which always gave me a better price.
I've just made a booking for this special offer "car roulette", 150 Euro+service charge for 1 week incl. CDW "pay VW Polo - get VW Golf"... Will be curious what they'll give me (added automatic as preference.. ), but not expecting too much. Sixt customer service answered my email already that for this offer, the Plat upgrade would not be honored.. But we'll see...

I got a BMW 118i with navi, brandnew. Not really a grand upgrade, as the booking class was CLMX, and the 118i is still a compact car, but well, for this rate I don't complain. He offered me a Volvo C30 too, but I went for the BMW.
