It's been no secret that the price of used cars continues to rocket higher, as we have been writing about for months.
This week, the Wall Street Journal released a list of the Top 10 vehicles that were at the tip of the spear of the rising prices. Leading the charge was the unlikely Dodge Caravan, followed by the Nissan Versa and Toyota Prius.
While not aesthetically pleasing, the top three cars on the list are notably utilitarian: the Caravan can seat many passengers, the Versa has trunk space and the Prius gets great gas mileage, as a hybrid. This could be a clue that new drivers are worried more about function over form.
