times those purchasing a new vehicle forget that it can also bring with
it a higher insurance rate.

The cheapest on the list? The Ford Edge with an average annual premium of $1,148. And on the flipside, the most expensive car to insure? The Mercedes Benz CL600 luxury coupe with an annual $3,357 yearly premium.
