Alamo mid-size vs full size

Anyone rent from Alamo at MCO lately? What cars have been available in the mid-size/intermediate versus full size class? Trying to decide what car to rent end of March. Thank you!

On our most recent trip in January 2011, we rented from Alamo's Midsize/Intermediate aisle, where we found a previous generation Honda Civic coupe, a current generation Honda Civic sedan, Kia Fortes, many Chevrolet HHRs, and a Ford Focus. In some, but not all cases, they move cars from different classes into the Midsize aisle, so you may get lucky. In our case, we saw a Chevrolet Equinox, many Dodge Nitroes, and a Jeep Liberty. In the Fullsize aisle, we saw Ford Fusions, Chevrolet Malibus and Impalas, a Dodge Avenger, and a Toyota Camry. Alamo is a good company to rent from and the HHR we chose was roomy, fun to drive, and fuel efficient! Have a great trip!!

The Alamo online site offers Midsize-Toyota Corolla, Standard-Ford Fusion, and Full Size-Impala (all of these include "or similar"). But at MCO there is no "Standard" aisle and you are directed to the Full Size aisle. When we were there Feb. 3rd, the Full Size aisle was full of minivans, Chargers, Impalas, Sonatas and Toyota Camrys which is what we chose. The midsize aisle was also loaded with minivans the day we were there. The paper they handed us at the booth after we chose our car said RESERVED-Standard, DRIVEN-Full Size, CHARGED-Standard.

Anyone know if it's better to go to the A side or B side? I just booked a mid size for March 15th and I'm hoping for something a tad bigger than a Corolla. An HHR would be fantastic.
