KBB's 2009 Top 10 Back-to-School Cars - Silverado Makes the List

It's that time of year again. Time for the kiddies to get up off the couch, bed, or away from their summer job and reenter the halls of academia. KBB has put out their top 10 list of back-to-school cars, and here they are:

1) 2009 Ford Focus
2) 2009 Honda Fit
3) 2010 Kia Soul
4) 2010 Mazda MAZDA3
5) 2009 Nissan Cube
6) 2005 Chevrolet Silverado
7) 2005 Ford Escape
8) 2006 Honda Civic
9) 2005 Scion xB
10) 2007 Suzuki SX4

Some nice choices all around. Although I have to say that after seeing how terribly most high school and college students park in the lots/structures, I would say get something you won't care too deeply about, because you will get door dings and mysterious bumper marks. Also, getting a truck will make you the most popular kid in the dorms, and throughout college life.

Having gone to college in Texas, I can say trucks are very popular down there among college kids.
