I've gotten chrslyer 300 with 4 miles on it.
I've gotten convertibles, pickup trucks, Mini vans,  the aisles vary tremendously from day to day, from location to location.

It used to be that way. Now the Malibu is a full size and impala is premium in most locations. As is a maximal.

+1 correct. As it should be, the new impala is very nice.

Ok to set things straight: Hertz has 2 classes of full-size cars there is the Impala and the Camry which is, in their books, a class higher (see here). I probably would also take the new Impala over a Maxima but when you reserve a premium "like a Maxima" it also includes other cars in that class like:
Buick Lucerne   G   PCAR   
Buick Regal   G   PCAR   
Ford Crown Victoria   G   PCAR
Ford Taurus   G   PCAR   
Hyundai Genesis   G   PCAR   
Volkswagen CC   G   PCAR   
Volvo S60   G   PCAR
And I would take practically any of those cars over the Impala
For full list of cars in each category see here

It's possible they've recently changed it like they upgraded the Avalon from Premier Premium to Luxury but that has been my experience
