Most expensive cars to insure
By Prakash

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to identify which cars would
cost the most to insure -- start with the Ferraris, Lamborghinis and
Porsches. Duh!
But they're limited-production cars and people who own them certainly
are not concerned about the price of insurance.
We've gone a step further, also bypassing other obviously expensive-to-insure
lines such as the Mercedes, Jaguar, Corvette, BMW, Cadillac and
Lexus.
Instead, here's a rundown on the most expensive cars to insure
that the average American might be driving or considering for their
next purchase -- those that cost less than $40,000 -- as researched
by Runzheimer
International, a Rochester, Wis., consulting firm which reviewed
insurance costs on vehicles priced under $40,000.
