1. acura RSX
2. Buick LeSabre
3. Chevrolet Malibu Maxx
4. Dodge SRT-4
5. Ford Taurus (station wagon)
6. Ford Thunderbird
7. GMC Safari
8. Honda S2000
9. Jaguar XJ
10. Jaguar XK (convertible)
11. Lexus IS 300
12. Mazda MPV
13. Mercedes CL-Class
14. Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution
15. Nissan 350Z
16. Nissan Pathfinder Armada (2004 only)
17. Pontiac Montana (standard model)
18. Pontiac Montana (extended model)
19. Subaru Impreza WRX
20. Volvo XC90

Answers: 1A, 2B, 3B, 4A, 5B, 6B, 7B, 8A, 9A, 10A, 11A, 12B, 13A, 14A, 15A, 16B, 17B, 18B, 19A, 20B.

I was surprised to see the Volvo as the #1 least expensive to insure. Supposedly they're safe and also likely to be a family car, but still they are an expensive car.
