Nissan GT-R
Nissan GT-R

Yes, the GT-R is a gasoline-powered performance car. It's not even a hybrid. But it's powered by a relatively fuel-efficient V6 rather than some monstrous V8 or V12. With prices starting at under $90,000 you should be able to get one, even with an option or two, without breaking six figures.

Perhaps most importantly, it's a car that came to America's attention through video games long before it became available in the U.S. No, not Farmville, but it was popularized by Gran Turismo for the Playstation.
