Default 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.
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.

They have 4 American cars on this list, therefore it is clearly wrong.
