Default Ten Cars expected to last 200,000 miles

http://finance.yahoo.com/loans/artic...th-save-31,000

Yahoo Finance explains how you can save money by simply maintaining your car well and keeping it for its full lifetime. It then provides this list of cars liable to let you do that best.

Consumer Reports' "Good bets" for making 200,000 miles: Honda Civic, Honda CR-V, Honda Element, Lexus ES, Lexus LS, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Land Cruiser, Toyota Prius, Toyota RAV4
I enjoyed noting that not only was my car, the Honda Civic, first on the list (well, it's probably alphabetical, and it doesn't specify hybrid, but close enough) but the Prius made it, too. So much for those ridiculous so-called studies by CNW, using incredibly short lifetime assumptions and trying to grab headlines by saying the Hummer was greener than the Prius.
