You can still get the premium cars if you pay extra for it. But most people (including me) just opt for the cheapest option.

I very occasionally used the premium options but other than a nicer vehicle there really wasn't a premium service, mostly regular ubers were clear and drivers decent (on average much better than my taxi experience pre-uber). If it was a busy area its still hard to find the car/driver. Never really felt like I was getting my money worth and I just go with the basic service, it still gets me from A to B.
I find in most markets uber black is no longer licensed black car. Just a normal person with a somewhat nicer car.
