Since few of these growling beasties are friendly on the fuel budget, cost of ownership is almost never low. However, the upfront investment is usually less intimidating. There are a couple of choices below the $30k mark, with only about two grand difference when you compare them, so it largely boils down to whether you want the coupe Challenger at around $28k, or the four-door Charger nearing $30k. Naturally, you may find a better deal at your local used dealerships.
