Officially, the cheapest new car sold in the U.S. is the 2015 Nissan Versa sedan, which now starts at $12,800, including destination. But what if you could get a brand new car--with an electric powertrain to boot--for an effective price of less than $10,000 after all incentives? As Yahoo Autos! columnist Steven Lang notes in a humorous blog post , it's technically possible to buy a 2014 Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric minicar for less than $10,000--but only for a very, very small segment of the population.
