The Eclipse is the most challenged for luggage space. Not driven a 200, but its predecessor was nothing to write home about, and luggage room in that was very poor with the roof down.
I currently hold a reservation for a "Nissan Altima 2-door or similar". Upgrading to "Chrysler 200 or similar" with prepay is around $100 more, but a guaranteed Mustang Convertible is almost double the price of the "Chrysler 200 or similar", so thats out of the picture. What would be better - upgrading to the Convertible STAR class with prepay and hope for a Mustang, or keeping my current reservation, trying to haggle for an upgrade on the spot?
