The comments for the M3 is pretty funny:

Driver Stereotype: Typically a ***** with an ego

Jalopnik Insurance Cost Analysis: Excess amounts of hair gel, collar popping, orange skin and overly bright white teeth have caused many severe accidents due to the dry heaving by oncoming drivers and the subsequent loss of their bodily functions and vehicular control.

yeah the F was a mere $50 more per month ($300) than my old IS300. I must have gotten in before the rate system was updated.

GTR made the list as #20, what they said...

1. Nissan GT-R
Price: $79,090
Cost To Insure: $2,533
Curb Weight: 3814 lbs
Engine Displacement: 3.8 liter turbo V6
HP: 480
TQ: 430
Top Speed: 193

Driver Stereotype: Gran Turismo-playing, web 2.0, dot com'er


Jalopnik Insurance Cost Analysis: Massive damage and the loss of hundreds of GT-Rs have occurred when owners realized they could not in fact ride the walls around turns, drive through other cars or reset the game.

I'd certainly agree with the X6 assessment. Many times I've wanted to burn one to the ground before it has a chance of permanently giving me retinal damage from its sheer ugliness.

Default 20 Most Expensive Cars To Insure For 2009

So according to Jalopnik the IS-F makes the list. LINK I find it hard to believe as I'm only paying $78 a month for mine.

I did however get a kick out of the following:

Driver Stereotype: Goes against the grain / hates German sports sedans"

Jalopnik Insurance Cost Analysis: Simply put; The beige Camry's are NOT happy with this car.

although i love jal
these lists are horrible cuz the ppl compiling them have probably never driven anything outside of gran turismo 2

the is-f is in a class of it's own, like many other cars like it
cars like the is-f are not meant to be compared to other cars yet at the same time are head and shoulders above everyone else

lol @ m3 -- 30 thousand dollar millionaire....

$453/ 6 months, $500 deductible, includes safety glass rider (free windshield repair or $100 replacement). Seemed like a mistake but that's what I'm paying. Farmers Insurance.
