It just made its U.S. debut at last week’s 2011 New York Auto Show and now we have the all-important pricing details. We’re of course talking about the funky new 2012 Fiat 500 Cabrio, or 500c for short, which goes on sale in the coming months, just in time for summer. The four-seater 500 Cabrio will be priced from $20,000, including a $500 destination charge, which is almost a full $5,000 less than one of its closest rivals, the MINI Cooper Convertible. Opt for a fully loaded model in ‘Lounge’ trim, however, and you’re looking at sticker price of around $26,000...

Found On Ebay: Six-Figure 2012 Mustang Boss Laguna SecaIt's not unusual for dealerships to mark up the sticker price on limited-production models, but a mark-up of more than 100 percent strikes us as a little daring. The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss Laguna Seca has a base MSRP of $47,990, but Mac Haik Ford, in Houston, Texas, is listing a silver example of...

Warm up your line of credit, it's about to get a workout: the 2012 Audi R8 GT starts from $196,800--excluding the $1,250 delivery fee, bringing the pre-tax, title, and license tally to $198,050. That's about what we expected, though, so there's no sticker shock. How could there be, really, with a limited-edition, 333-unit line (only 90 of which are coming to the U.S.) of the most finely-tuned factory R8s available? Pumping 560 horsepower from its 5.2-liter V-10 engine, sending it to all four wheels through an R tronic sequential manual transmission, and racking up 199 mph top speed with...

High Gear Media recently spent some quality time with the Chrysler 200 sedan and convertible during the first media drive in San Diego, revealing it's more than lipstick on the pig that was the Sebring, but still not quite a match for the competition from Subaru, Ford, or Hyundai. Today, Chrysler put a price on the convertible version of the 2011 200, and it's a bit higher than you might expect. The entry-level Touring model starts from $26,445, sure, but the step up to the Limited model will cost you $31,240, while the in-house custom S is yet to be priced, but sure to be even pricier...

Pricing details for the 2012 Ford Mustang are beginning to leak out, and the news is mixed. The good news first: The base Mustang GT sees its price slashed by $500. The bad news: Prices for the V-6 Premium and GT Premium models go up. The Shelby GT500 stays the same. The base GT's cut means that the car will start below $30K, but few will likely be sold at that price. The Premium V-6 and Premium GT prices increase by only $200, but GT Premium convertibles jump by $700. As we've already noted, the 2012 Boss Mustang will start at $40,995. Mustangs Daily has the full pricing scoop. Bottom line...
