In whos name should a new car be titled to limit potential liability when the driver will be a 17 year old but the buyers of the car are the parents?

I don't understand what you mean by "limit potential liability". Parents are liable for anything a minor does regardless of whose name the car is in. If the parents are seeking to escape liability for accidents when the child is no longer a minor, then titling the car in the minor's name would be the way to go. This does assume they're comfortable with throwing their no-longer-minor child to the wolves.

Was the minor driving the vehicle? How did he/she get a hold of the vehicle's keys? If this is the case, yes, you can, it is called "contributory negligence". In all actuality, you can sue anybody in the US. However, in your case, you sue the minor, but the minor's parents/insurance co will be held accountable for all damages.
