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

The Lucerne and crown Victoria aren't in the lot anymore. Genesis about to dissapear.

Made a rental for a compact from Hertz LAX  about 2 minutes ago, just got confirmation and car which is a FIAT 500.

All I can say is HECK NO!!! The Focus is about twice that size which is what I rented. Lets see what they say.

I don't think I can even fit into a FIAT. Who were those cars made for??

ETA: Got out in an Impala

Seems like it. The lady was talking about how it's free to get status right now so almost everyone comes and has some type of status and it makes it harder for her to care.

Plus i was on post pay so I was just about to cancel or make a new one for a few dollars more

You should have told her that presidents is most definitely not free.

IIRC sometimes it can be classified as a special fuel saver

National.
Executive.
MIA
From Thursday Jan 29 - Tuesday Feb 3
(charged for a week) $103.??
My wife was by herself, didnt know the diff between executive and emerald. Took a Kia Soul. Was very happy with it
And $103 for a week in MIA was a great price.
Used the executive that Dan posted last week plus a $25 off a week rental coupon.
