What are you doing reading this list? March to a dealership right now and buy these cars!

BMW did us enthusiasts a favor with the everything-you-want/nothing-you-don't and reader found one for just .

9.) Cadillac ELR

Everyone cried fowl when Cadillac announced the ELR would cost $75k, but we soon learned that it wasn't quite so much. The World Of Vee over in Oppositelock . Now that's more like it.

8.) Ford Focus ST

A stripped out Focus ST can be had for which is a downright bargain for one of the best hot hatchbacks on the market right now.

7.) Ram Tradesman 1500

The Ram Tradesman was number one on our list of the and that earns it a spot on this list. 390 HP for ? Hell yeah.

6.) Smart Electric Drive

Say what you will about the Smart car, but the Electric Drive with a $139/month lease plus whatever State/Federal EV incentives you might get is a great deal. It might be a perfect, cheap urban runabout. Some have seen lease offers for as low as $99/month.

5.) 2013 SRT Viper GTS

Yes, you can buy a new 2013 Viper GTS for . That's down from $134,990, and there are plenty of GTSs that sell for under $100k.

4.) 2014 Nissan GT-R

Nissan is currently offering $10k off list for 2014 GT-Rs which is very cheap for a car that can do 0-60 in a mind bending 2.7 seconds. That's nearly 918 territory for under $90k.

3.) Nissan Leaf

The GT-R is great, but it's not the best deal in the Nissan lineup. That would have to go to the Leaf, especially if you live in a state with good EV incentives. Reader broke down the monthly lease costs for his own Leaf in Georgia.

"$220-ish seems to be about the lowest you can get an S model without the quick charge package, if you have access to Nissan's VPP program.

Our numbers work out like this:

Total of lease payments: ($249x24; plus $349 disposition fee) $6325

Incremental Insurance increase: ($15x24) $360

Incremental Electric Bill Increase: ($15x24) $360

————————————————————————————-

$7045 total costs over two years

- $5k state refund

+ $1250 federal tax liability on state refund

- $3600 in gas savings ($150x24)

————————————————————————-

-$305 total cost of ownership over two years

We don't really drive enough miles to drive that number farther negative (only 6,ooo miles per year). I also have not factored in the maintenance that replacing a 10 year old car with the Leaf allowed us. I figured my car was going to need $1000+ over two years to stay on the road. That's no longer an issue."

Does anyone want a free car?

2.) Dodge Charger/Challenger Hellcat

Ok, so Dodge hasn't released the pricing on the Charger Hellcat yet but expect it to be around the $60k the . That's supercar numbers for BMW 5-Series money.

They're the American version of the .

1.) Corvette Z06

If I hadn't read it on GM's press release there's no way in hell I'd believe that the new Z06 would cost under $80k. That's less than a base 911 Carrera, for something that will run with a Turbo S.

Crazy.
