Research International USA's TRU branch has polled the youth of our country and discovered that they'd like a fun, stylish car more than anything (duh) -- namely the Mustang. Twenty-somethings posed the same question picked the Honda Civic above all else, mainly because they've had a dose of reality, and are now paying their own insurance and fuel.

So what exactly does this study say? As you mature, your experience leads to more practical decision making, perhaps? That there's a whole subset of spoiled brat high schoolers who have their insurance and fuel paid for and also expect that being handed the keys to a 3,500 pound wheeled liability is a birthright? Probably a bit of both, we suppose, but the fact remains that the Mustang is a flashy, fun car that even non-car people could point out in a crowd and undoubtedly has decent youth appeal.

The rest of the teens choices weren't earth shattering. Besides the Mustang, the cars that young drivers most desire are posted below the fold.

When I was in highschool I thought the rustang was the biggest POS in the world.

Same here. My high school friends and I always remembered it as the midlife crisis car. Lots of balding old men driving them around and trying to act cool with their Saleen accessories. LOL

I never liked the mustang
only the classic 65 one and the Mach1....
but the mach1 only in "somewhat" category

350Z (Track) > Mustang

my corolla > mustang

Meh, I guess you guys have a bunch of slow Mustangs around.

I'm surrounded by them, many deep into the 7s, one KOTS, and several prepped for autocross. The local racing board I'm on is almost all Mustangs. I never wanted one coming out of high school though. Hell, I just wanted a car that ran, lol.

Pretty sure my 1987 LeBaron Turbo kicked some ass ... so what now?!

you obviously were the coolest kid at schooll, DUH

There was a guy here with one of those that ran 12s.

Very true.

me > Mustang GT
