Top 10 Back-to-School Rides

Top 10 Back-to-School Rides

MSN has selected the xB as one of the top 10 cars for college students.

1. Honda Civic / Fit
2. Scion xB
3. Toyota Corolla / Yaris
4. Mazda MX-5 Miata
5. Subaru Impreza
6. VW New Beetle
7. Ford Focus
8. Chevrolet Cobalt
9. Chevrolet Silverado
10. Jeep Liberty

Heres what they said about the xB.

Quote:

With its "good to be square" design, the Scion xB is a uniquely shaped car with styling that is aimed towards the younger audience. With an expansive interior that belies its overall dimensions, the xB (2004-2007, new for 200

is built right and its excellent fuel mileage and outstanding crash ratings make this Scion a natural born thriller for both parent and student alike.

HOLY CRAP, I second that thought. @_@ The Cavalobalt, for dog's sake?! I drove one as a rental for three days, and I wanted to blow my brains out. And what college student can afford a Liberty? Or the mileage of a Silverado?

MSN must be hiring writers straight out of high school.
