Running Costs3 out of 5

If you're in the market for an American muscle car, you're not really going to be bothered about how much it costs to run.

Which is just as well, because the quoted combined fuel consumption figure is 21.2mpg (21.1mpg with the auto 'box). In the real world, with owners wanting to provoke that fantastic-sounding V8 into life as much as possible, that figure's more likely to be somewhere in the mid-teens.

And with CO2 emissions at 316g/km (317 for auto), putting the car in road tax Band G, you won't see Ken Livingstone cheering you on as you drive through central London (although he'll happily take £25 a day off you come October 2008).

The insurance group is, perhaps not unexpectedly for a big Yank muscle car, 20D.
