Girlfriend and I are going to Florida in a few weeks, and I've been looking at the hire car options.
Found that Avis offer a number of more interesting cars, for fairly decent money. We're there for 8 days. Of the cars they offer, the ones below are the ones that caught my attention:
Ford Mustang, for approx $440 (so about £220)
Nissan 350Z is $690 (so about £345)
Pontiac Solstice is $425 (so about £215)
Of those, I guess really the Mustang and the Solstice are the main contenders. I've driven a 350Z before, and it's good, but they don't sell the Solstice in the UK and it's meant to be a pretty fun car to drive, from what i've read. The Mustang obviously seems the right choice though for getting about in the US, and I'm unlikely to drive one otherwise either...
However, there is another option to throw a spanner in the works...
Corvette C6, at around $1100 (so about £550).
Downside is that they only offer an auto :roll: But, I do like them. I've always said if they made a right-hand drive Z06 I'd buy one in an instant, but they don't. They're rare over here, and though I could rent one in the UK if I wanted, it'd be a lot more than £500 for a week. But then do I want to spend that much on a hire car, when I could be spending it on other goodies whilst I'm on holiday.... (or on goodies for the Z4M when I get back!).
Anyone fancy helping me decide? lol

(except knowing how quick those things are, i'm going to come back wanting that ESS kit for the M!)
