When I travel throughout the country, I like to make note of what cars are popular in each location. I'm originally from Michigan and the majority of cars on the road are domestics, so it's no surprise that the Ford Escape was the most popular. My mother recently purchased a Toyota Rav-4 and remarked how easy it is to find her car in parking lots because they are relatively rare in her area. I had to laugh at her- I can't seem to throw a rock without hitting a Rav-4 here in Northern Virginia.
