Well - I'm from Denmark, Europe - We have mostly bad weather, with only 15-30 hot sunny days a year. So when the sun is finally there, we enjoy to get out and sweat in the sun, since we are freezing the rest of the year And we have a 200% sales tax on cars, so a Mustang Convertible will cost the same as a small appartment...

Last year I was in California and rented a Mustang convertible and had a GREAT time, driving around in the hot sun with the top down

Anyway, yes I'm happy about the relatively low rates on premium cars BUT even though the Chrysler 300 looks great, a Challenger is SOOO much cooler IMO - therefore, it's frustrating that the price difference is so huge.

Maybe a part of the price difference is caused by the extra hassle of being able to guarantee the customer the exact make and model, instead of a random car in a class?

Well I guess I have to live with that... Are there any chances that I might be able to upgrade to the Challenger at the day of pick-up for a better rate than the one on their website, if there's a Challenger in the lot and it has no reservations on it?
