People with a Scion xA get a lot of tickets? For what? Bad judgement?

That's because there aren't as many on the road nowadays. That will change in a few years.. Plus, the cars that seem to get the most tickets are either wealthy people (hummer) or younger kids hence the Scions..

I would think the small percentage of Camaros on the road right now alone would preclude it from making the list. No Mustangs though either, so maybe it wouldn't have anyway.

Well, most of the nice muscle cars I do see on the street, the driver is almost always cruising;I guess they feel they have nothing to prove by speeding against some nut in a Honda accord.

i would agree with this. seems around here the people with the v8 cars don't speed nearly as much. now...take the same car, insert a v6, and all the sudden i see more hurried departures from stoplights and the like.

personally, driving my ss around, i know what it can do. anyone with any common sense knowledge of cars knows what it can do. i have nothing to prove to a 16 year old kid in a honda - nor a 20, 30, 40 or 50-something person in their acura, bmw or whatever. i don't feel like having my car wrecks because some other idiot can't control themselves.

I'll never know why people rip on Hummer's so much, about the gas mileage and inefficacy. They aren't that bad at all. Chicks dig 'em too.

Thats cool, because I dig chicks that give good hummers.

Kinda surprised there are no Pontiacs on that list. It seems like every other day for the last two weeks another one is inching up on me at a stoplight. I'm also kind of surprised at no VW's either. Hell, I really never even see a Scion around here.

HA! This article lends more credence to my theory about foreign car buyers being poor drivers compared to domestic car buyers.

Not a single domestic vehicle on that list besides the Hummer, which doesn't count.
