I think the rental companies are owned by the big automakers simply as a means to move vehicles for their respective automaker owners. This means Hertz is going to choose Volvo over Saab, since Hertz is owned by Ford. If a particular model or variant isn't selling as smoothly as they'd like, they don't just sell it at a loss to the consumer and hurt their vehicle sales, they send it to their rental subsidiary. If Saab pestered GM to be part of their rental business, and Saab was producing more cars than it could easily sell, it could probably happen. But Saab hasn't been known for their creative sales prowess.
