The Leaf was maybe the official car of downtown Kirkland, three years ago.

Xterra for Colorado? Haha, no. Crosstreks, Wranglers, Tacomas pretty much in that order.

I go to school in Pennsylvania. I don’t think I have ever seen a Mitsubishi Outlander Sport while there.

Gotta provide the context of the map:

“What car was the most distinctive in each state? What model of car did, say, California buy far more often than any other state in the Union? We turned to auto analyst Tom Libby of IHS Automotive to help us crunch the numbers. First, Libby pulled data about the make and model of every car sold in the U.S., and calculated the popularity of each by percentage using registration data. Then, he did the same at the state level, and compared each state to the national average.”

So it’s what car does each state have way more of compared to any other state. For example...

“In Connecticut, the Subaru Impreza sells at 441 percent the national average, while five Volvo models, including the XC70, V60 Cross Country, S80, S60 and XC60, all have market shares in Connecticut more than twice their national averages.”

It’s actually pretty fascinating!

Thanks for the context, as an data analyst, words like “popular” and “frequent” always make me fear reading the small print, haha.

They need to replace Kia Soul EV in California with Nissan Altima. I've only ever seen one Kia Soul EV and it was in my neighborhood.

NE: Not shocked in the least.

Ohio: LMFAO. Cruise, really?

New Jersey: We’re all assholes so Audi makes sense.

NY: That has to be skewed by NYC, no way Upstate NY wants Escalades.

Hawaii: Toyota Tacoma.

Having spent considerable time on Maui, if you ignore the tourist areas, it’s all Toyota pickups, and they’re all lifted. I was in the minority by a long shot with my *gasp* Jeep XJ.

I do still see a surprising amount of those Buicks around for some odd reason. Bonnevilles surprisingly not so much, although they used to be everywhere.
