There is !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . There is UberX. There is UberXL. You can Uber Black SUVs. Lots of Uber, but no UberSport.
I've used Uber over and over again in San Francisco for the holiday. We bought a silly pass for the Cable Cars, but they are about as reliable as a used Yugo in nowhere Montana. I waited over an hour to get on a cable car and then the ride took another hour because it inexplicably stopped. The Cable Car guys must have a powerful union or something. Uber, on the other hand, provided proverbial swiss movement reliability. I hit the button and a Toyota whisked, well at least tried to whisk, me away.
Excluding any Uber Black (licensed professional "Black Car" services) rides, I think every single UberX vehicle I used was in a Toyota. Prius - check. Camry - check. Venza - check. Prius-C - check (not a nice ride). And yet the streets of San Francisco, while crawling with Toyotas, are teeming with BMWs, Porsches, Corvettes (seems sort of impractical, but I saw several), Audis, and Pony cars.
There have been many times I've traveled alone, with hardly any luggage. I get so tired of Lincoln Town Cars, MKTs, Suburbans, and mostly Toyotas. Don't you? I'd love to have a Cayman pull up and give me a spirited lift to my hotel or business meeting. On the driver's side, it'd give the owner a reason to drive their car more often and maybe even make a little bank. It's a win-win for everyone. Plus, it'd be another huge innovation for Uber. Let's face it, no enthusiast is putting a pink mustache on their car - ever.

Or, the service which picks you up in a German car and takes you via the backstreets: Deutschland Uber Alleys.
