Would think it's the Outback or the Forester. I rarely see any WRX models.

I'd bet 20% or more of the people in my town have a Subaru.

They nailed Hawaii for sure. There are Prerunners everywhere. Of all the cars I've owned the Tacoma TRD I had in 1999 is the one vehicle I wish I had never sold. Would still be perfect today I imagine.

Louisiana and South Carolina BMW 760 .. I wonder what pattern you would find if you tried to find the common denominator in those sales, has to be something.

I can't remember exactly, that was almost 30 years ago now. I do remember they looked like a raised up station wagon with four wheel drive.

The big BMWs and S-Class mercedes are the two most popular cars with southern old money.

Same with Connecticut. Subaru would have been my first guess for them as well.

I can't understand his logic, honestly. The Caddy isn't the most purchased SUV in Texas by a large margin.


That's not what they are saying. They are saying that the Caddillac SUV is purchased more by Texans than people of any other state.

Edit: Golfer beat me to it

Judging by the shear number of electric nissan leafs I see on a daily basis, Georgia is correct. There will be a lot less going forward as they took away the tax credit

BMW 760 sells at 10 times the national rate in South Carolina. Thats a v-12 $150,000+ car.

Tennessee is extending their $7,500 tax credit for the next year...so you could see a shift in the Leaf market from Georgia to Tennessee.

No fricking way the Cadillac EXT is the most distinctive vehicle in Texas.

It would have to be the Chevy Tahoe - almost without question.

The Cadillac escalade makes sense in NY, given the limo/car service market there.
