Sells for: $51,545
Fuel Economy: 16 mpg/26 mpg
Engine: 430-hp 6.2-liter OHV V-8

This isn't the car you buy for its fuel economy; it's the car you buy for its sophisticated chassis, V-8 engine and ability to hustle around corners. But drop it into sixth gear on the highway and you get bragging rights for mileage too.
