At least the interior didn't seem like it was a 30k+ mile car. Guess Hz LAS didn't hear about the new 2017 300S models with the nice fat rims, rear sunshade, and built-in NAV?

Also saw the classic several year old F-class Chevrolet Impala. Are these things ever leaving the fleet? Like the Dodge Avenger, I think Hz has an affinity for this car for some odd reason. Also present were 1 Shelby Hz, several MB C63(S), Stingray, a couple 2016 Regals, a few standard F-class, a few compacts, 1 Q70, and 1 Q50.
I'm curious which day did you pick up?

I picked the Q60 because I had to drive to Southern California and wanted to drive on Angeles Crest Highway, one of my favorite driving roads. I figured the Q60 would be the best car for the job otherwise I might have gone for the 5.0 Mustang for pure speed. But the Q60 was a great car. Good looking, fun to drive, fast, and comfortable for the long haul.
that is a nice drive...the 5.0 is a nice car but definitely not over the Q60. I've had the 5.0 a couple times and although it drives a lot better compared to previous mustangs, I don't think it is as nice as a Q60 in terms of driving expierience unless you're talking about the Shelby GT-H.

I will keep you all posted on what I see when I arrive.
