Many Triton students who drive themselves to school every day find an identity in their vehicles. In this investigation, I found the top three most popular and least popular car makes and models students drive.
I asked five different students what car they drove and what they thought was the most popular car driven here at Triton
Triton senior Lukas Rainsford said, “I drive a Honda Accord.” “Probably a Honda Pilot, like the old ones. I feel like I see a lot of them”
Triton senior Jimmy Bradshaw said, “I drive a 2016 Toyota Camry LE.” “Probably like a Prius or an Accord”
Triton senior Andrew Balkus was straight to the point “Honda Pilot” “Honda Civic”
Triton senior William Hight said, “I drive a Volkswagen Golf, it drives like a go cart, I think.” “I’d say the most common would be a Chrysler PT cruiser… Convertible”
Triton senior Tyler Brosch said, “I drive a Toyota 4 Runner.” “Honda Accords and Civics are pretty common, I think.”
I noted each car in both the side and back parking lots. I found that Toyota, Honda, and Jeep were the most popular make of vehicle, with Toyota and Honda tied at a count of 26 each. The most popular Toyota was the Toyota Camry with seven each, and the most popular Honda was the Honda Accord with seven each as well. The most popular Jeep (twelve) was the Jeep Grand Cherokee with a count of five.
Toyota: Toyota Camry, 7
Honda: Honda Accord, 7
Jeep: Jeep Grand Cherokee, 5
The least popular makes were Saab (a now defunct Swedish car manufacturer that turned to making weapons for the Swedish military), Mercedes, and Hummer, with a count of one each. The Saab 9-3, Mercedes GLK 300, and the Hummer H3 were all one-of-a-kind vehicle make and models in our parking lots.
Saab: 9-3, 1
Mercedes: GLK 300, 1
Hummer: H3, 1
