Kelley Lists Top 10 Coolest Cars Under $18K


IRVINE, Calif. -- If you don't want to pay top dollar for a new car, there's good news for you.

Kelley Blue Book has released a list of what it calls top-10 cool, affordable new vehicles. The prices start at about $15,500, topping out under $18,000.

Cars on the list include the new Dodge Caliber, the Mazda3 and the Chevrolet HHR as well as some more familiar names like the Kia Sportage and the Honda Civic.

Kelley Blue Book said it chose the $18,000 ceiling because it means a monthly payment of $350 or less over five years.

Editor Jack Nerad said the economy cars offer a number of key features previously available only in luxury cars, like an I-Pod connection.

Kelley Blue Book may be best known for listing the price of used cars.
