Pick-a-car challenge for rising gas prices

So with the talk of a barrel of oil possibly hitting $200, gasoline will surely rise to stratospheric levels. If we think it's bad now....

In light of that, what car/vehicle would you buy given the following criteria:
  • Of course, fuel efficient (Say, 30mpg combined?)
  • Well built
  • Good looking
  • Fun to drive
  • Has some utility
  • Still has some cache/prestige
  • Doesn't cost an arm and a leg (Big Oil took those already!)

Soon-to-come vehicles are eligible. Concepts and models more than a year out don't count.

Tough isn't it?
