"Motor City most expensive town in which to own car"

According to this post on Autoblog, apparently it's expensive to own a car in Detroit.

I pay $5400 a year in insurance on two seven year old cars and a new Jeep, which I think is a hell of a lot of money.

Of course, that's Oakland County, not Detroit itself, so add at least a third to that figure to get rates for the city.
