What automobiles are popular in your area?

I must say, Phoenicians are suckers for their SUVs and trucks. Everywhere on the freeways here I find myself sandwiched between a Ford Expedition and a Chevy Tahoe, with only one person (the driver) occupying. Even in our student parking lot at school everyone has trucks. People here hate cars, and those that do buy cars are usually Import (Honda, Nissan, etc). Back in Michigan, it was all domestic, and a lot of midsize sport-ute (grand cherokee, explorer etc) in the Livonia-Westland area. And in NH and CT, everybody and their grandparents had a Volvo station wagon! It's amazing the way our regional placement and culture translates to different cars, like all these people (soccer moms) here trying to be cowboys with their F-250 supercab Lariat that never touches dirt!! What's popular in your neck of the wood?>
