Insure.com lists the most, least expensive 2010 vehicles to insure
At $194,000 the 530-hp 2010 Porsche Carrera GT2 is one exhilarating, yet expensive car. But the costs involved with owning a Carrera GT2 don’t stop there. According to Insure.com, insuring the 2010 Carrera GT2 will cost a 40-year old male an average of $2,943.78 to insure annually – and that’s assuming he has a good driving record. The price makes the Porsche Carrera GT2 the most expensive 2010 vehicle to insure.

On the other hand, the Mazda Tribute I (2WD) is the least expensive 2010 vehicle to ensure among all vehicles examined by Insure.com.

“The least expensive vehicles are ones you have to drive and no one wants to. The most expensive list includes cars that people don’t have to drive but want to,” said Kim Hazelbaker, senior vice president of the Highway Loss Data Institute, a division of the Insurance Institute for Highway safety.

Check out the full list after the jump.

1. Interesting. Looks like they only included the more "common" exotics.
I've heard tell that commonly it costs close to, if not more than, $15000.00/yr to insure supercars like the Ferrari F430 and the Lamborghini Gallardo. Can't begin to imagine the cost to insure a Zonda or a Veyron. Likely only 3 or 4 insurance underwriters even willing to take that on.

To be honest, I'm kind of surprised to see the Wrangler in there amongst all that beige.

3. Exactly. Like I said, I'd bet only
3 or 4 insurance companies (Lloyds of London, etc) would even touch the Zonda or the Veyron. At almost $2 million to replace one of the fastest production street cars? Crazy money.

5. Sorry
I wasn't trying to be a prat, but just reiterate that it would be seriously difficult and expensive for a car like that.
