?This year's Hot List includes cars that are sure to develop a cultlike following because their characteristics resonate with driving enthusiasts,? said McKeel Hagerty, CEO of Hagerty Insurance, in a media release.
Hagerty?s list focuses on 2012 models priced under $100,000 that the insurer says have the right stuff to endure as future collector cars.
They are:
The 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca coupe is a special-edition version of the latest Boss.(Photo: Ford) Buick Regal GS, $32,535, a surprising first pick but one that has gained traction with driving enthusiasts since Regal?s recent transformation, with the new GS version cranking out 270 horsepower from its 2-liter four-cylinder Ecotec engine.
Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca Edition, $48,100, which successfully channels one of the most memorable Mustangs of the past with a track-ready car that can be driven every day.
Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8, $61,785, the mighty performance version of the revamped SUV that takes its rugged Trail Ready credentials to the street.
Fiat 500 Abarth, $22,000, tuned by the famed Italian racing group with a 160 hp, 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and tuned suspension, brakes and dual exhaust.
Volkswagen Golf R, $36,000, the latest hot hatch from VW with all-wheel drive and enough power to take advantage of it.
The Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S were unveiled in North America at the Los Angeles Auto Show.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, $54,095, classic Camaro performance with a vengeance, channeling the fantastic 1969 COPO back-door drag-racing star, now with 580 horsepower and GM?s blessing.
Nissan GT-R Black Edition, $95,100, new this year to U.S. drivers and already a cult classic with its amped-up 530-horsepower V6.
Dodge Charger SRT8, $46,795, upgraded for 2012 with a better interior and greater performance, plus it has four doors for real-world driving needs.
Audi TT RS, $56,850, with its stylish Bauhaus design and crisp performance, and another reason for Audi?s rapid ascent.
