I did a quick look on Hertz for Frankfurt. They have an Opel Insignia with manual transmission. You could also get an X1 with auto, and they have some E-series sedans and wagons, as well as various SUVs.
I have rented several times from Hertz in Rome and Milan, always getting an Audi wagon of some sort (A4 & A6). My primary need is size, so I could have gotten something more fun if I didn't need capacity.
I'm certain you can shop around for a rental that will make you happy. Just remember that your domestic insurance is no good over there. You'll have to buy their supplemental insurance, which I always do, and it pretty much doubles the cost.
