Kids These Days: Cars That Teens Want, According to Forbes

Everyone knows that kids these days are just so sensible and pragmatic, and not at all deserving of the bad rap they always get in the popular culture. Forbes Autos reports on the top ten cars most wanted by "teens," and the majority of them are relatively fuel efficient and priced under $20K. Here's the breakdown:

1. Ford Mustang
2. Honda Civic
3. Honda Accord
4. VW New Beetle
5. Toyota Camry
6. Toyota Corolla
7. Tie between Chevy Impala and Ford Focus
8. Tie between Jeep Wrangler and Ford F-150
9. Dodge Charger
10. VW Jetta

I'm not very able to relate to the idea of parents buying their kid a car, which is what I assume is happening in most cases where adolescents are driving anything brand-new. And the fact that the kids surveyed only seem to want late-model rides (at least according to the slide show) strikes me as a little strange. I spent my early teens thinking the '57 Chevy Bel Air was the end-all-be-all, then moved into Studebakers before inheriting my first (and then over a decade old) Ford Escort. Admittedly, my tastes were and continue to be pretty weird. But how about you? What car did you want when you were a teenager? And if you're in your teens now, what ride are you saving (or begging) for?
