While the average car buyer might scoff at the notion of spending more than $100,000 on a new car, "affordable" exotics are a rapidly growing segment. Much like the proliferation of McMansions, $100,000 cars are often purchased more as stylish status symbols than for their substance, although each of these cars offers plenty of both. The trend doesn't look to be ending anytime soon, either. New $100,000-plus entries from Porsche and Aston Martin are on the way, and even BMW and Mercedes-Benz are looking to produce new, rarified models.

Cars that made the list had to sticker between $100,000 and $200,000 and go above and beyond pedestrian luxury cars in terms of style, performance and attitude.
