Coming in at number eight on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's list of top ten fuel economy leaders, the 2012 Lexus CT 200h Hybrid posts an impressively low 0.29 coefficient of drag, a boon to both fuel efficiency and handling and control. Those aerodynamics are thanks to a tapered cabin, along with side mirrors inspired by Lexus' LFA sports coupe. An underbody engineered to provide superior airflow aids in decreased drag.

Fuel Economy: 43 mpg city/40 mpg highway/42 mpg combined

MSRP: $29,120
