I think its a great choice, I have had Chargers and 300C, I would take the Charger especially if you have lots of luggage as the boot is much bigger

But the back seats don't go down on a Charger, and neither of them has great boot space. Are you seriously saying that a charger is better than a 300C comfort wise? (I own one and have hired the other);)

Who says customer service is dead, just had an email from the department of homeland security advising me my ESTA is about to run out and I should renew with a link attached?

Refreshing compared to the total lack of anything near a personality from the DHS individual I experienced when questioned as to why I had so much money on me? The fact that it was Vegas and I had a few large entry fee tournaments to enter and they required cash or bank transfer only, I had declared it on my customs form, the customs guy was cool and wished me luck but the other person seemed to have a cob on or was so totally resentful, spent a lot of time picking and poking with no real intellect apparent.

Been over enough times to know just stand there and go through the peocess , get through and enjoy.

Unless of course they are depending on my $11 who knows?

Only watched about 20 mins of it before I fell asleep, but I'll put my bank on them not finding their fortunes.

And that is the crux, the ones you rent are sooo underpowered it runs like a pig, but with hard suspension. The only thing "classic" about the Charger is the name, now if it looked like the ones in the 70's then that would be some ride.
BTW if you want to experience raw power then Hertz rent out a liveried Shelby Mustang.
