Popular new cars in your area?

For instance I live in Orlando Florida and there are 300 C's running up and down the roads here. followed by Magnums. Alot of new Mazdas after that..crossfires too.

what do you guys see alot of running around?

Dodge Magnums and 300C here too, as soon as you stop to look at one, the salesman has the keys and wants you to drive it. Must work because they are all over on the street. Also alot of Grand prix's. The GTP's sell within 2 weeks of hitting the lot.

I see more 300s & 300Cs than anything, and I rarely see a Magnum except on the dealer's lot. I very rarely see any of GMs newer cars on the road. Once in a blue moon I'll see a CTS, Malibu, or Grand Prix. The dealers here have had CTSVs and GTOs, but I have yet to see either on the street. I've seen a couple of SSRs out there, and maybe an Equinox and one or two Aveo's. The dealer here has a silver XLR (drool), but it's been on the lot now for well over a month (maybe two). :(

I counted 16 CTS (including 1 v) on my commute home from Cincinnati to Dayton yesterday - 45 minute trip. I have no idea how they're not selling 1,000,000 of these things a year because I cant throw a stone and not hit one around here.

The Magnums are popular already, not a lot of 300s. Definitely see a lot of new Equinoxii.

Chrysler 300s hands down. Magnums are also showing up an awful lot around here.

To give you an idea as to the type of people that live in Monterey (I actually live in nearby Marina and work in Monterey), you can't go more than 50 feet without tripping over some type of BMW or Mercedes. Say what you want about the 300's "bling-bling" appeal, but both it and the Magnum are certainly playing extremely well with the "blueblood" and "country club" crowd as well.

There is exactly one GTO and one XLR that I see here in Monterey (pop 29,000). I also only occasionally see a new Malibu, but I see more Chrysler Sebring and Stratus sedans by far.

There are plenty of Mustangs around here, but because Ford hasn't changed the styling on them since '99, I can't say if they're used or new.

Silverado, F-150, and Dodge Ram are everywhere.

I see a lot of Mazda 3's popping up

I see everything. Lots and lots and lots of 300's and Magnums. XLR's and CTSv's. Lots of Scions....really lots.

I even see afew Bentley Continental coupes every week.

Ford F-150
Chevrolet Malibu
Mazda3
Chrysler 300
Mazda RX-8
Volkswagen R32

In roughly that order. Cadillac CTS also, though not really "new" now.

I live in Texas so all the new trucks are everywhere....

Like guion, my neighborhood is littered with Bavarian as well as Italian offerings...

But for the most part these tend to catch my eye above others

Mazda 3
RX8
350Z (EVERYWHERE! only two years in)
xB
SSR - not really a truck
Mini Coopers
GTO - considering early sales figures, I see quite a bit

And the most surprising is the VW R32... I can't believe how many of these I see...on average one or two spottings per day! I see more of these than EVOs that have been out quite a bit longer...

Red dodge magums & silver 300Cs. I'm not a fan of the styling (or porky curb weight) of either cars, but at least finally Chrysler is getting away from it's awful Celene Dion driven marketing image and making some ballsy and basically affordable RWD v8 cars.

XLR's :bow: There are three of them in my area that I know of, one is my neighbor and the other lives by my mom. CTS's are also very popular around here. Grand Prix's are pretty common too. I didn't even know they had hit dealerships yet the winter before last and I was alreaddy seeing them all around. Prius's are starting to become pretty popular too, I know of 5 local ones so far. Hummers are always popular around here since this is where they're built, their about as common as Accords.

Even though I hear a lot of praise around here for GTO's, it seems like dealerships can't even give them away :think: Probably just because people want their new cars to also be good in the winter.

I saw a lot of CTS's in Chicago before I moved to Houston. Now that I think about it I saw quite a few GTOs for 2 months ago. I havnt seen one other GTO besides mine on the street but I was at a count of 11 before I left for texas.

off track..... The best auto bill board ad is one on Ohio Steet in downton Chicago about 3 lights before the famous stip of Rush street. It just has a black GTO and the words "Make every street Rush street".

Where do you live in MInnesota? All I see are freaking Ions.

CTS and Grand Prix...see TONS of these every day.

I live in the Northwest Suburbs over by Anoka and Maple Grove

I agree with you there. I have only seen like 2 300s and 0 Magnums on the road.

I see tons of RX8s and Mazda 3s though. I also see TONS of 350zs and G35s and CTSs.

300[c]'s are everywhere... the magnums are starting to pick up too.

300c

Let me add some more, now that you guys have reminded me of a few more cars. :D

More I very rarely see:

1. Scions (I've literally seen like 2)
2. Ions
3. Evos
4. VW R32s (Just 1)
5. H2s (I saw them all the time when they first came out, and now they are nowhere to be found. :confused: )
6. Mazda 3s, 6s, and RX8s
7. Crossfires & Pacificas
8. Subarus of any kind

Around here it seems everyone still mostly buys SUVs and trucks instead of cars.

I see a whole lot of CTSs around here, and they are the newer V6 ones with dual exhaust. I've seen one CTS-V on the road.

Around here there are millions of new Camrys around, because the plant is like 25 miles away.

I haven't seen any 300Cs in town, but the a couple of months ago I drove to Lexington and ate at the Outback Steakhouse and saw 4 in the parking lot, one was a hemi.

I Still have yet to see a GTO on the road, the local dealership still has a red GT0 that they got back in the winter. It has some ugly aftermarket wheels and they are charging an extra $4K for dealer installed options (wheels, rear spoiler, tint.)

I have seen several SSRs all Yellow or Red in color.

I think the SSR looks especially sharp in silver...with the top UP, of course.

Pontiac Grand Prix ....if this wasnt one ofthe best selling midsize in this area , Id be surprised . I see them absolutely everywhere .
Caddy CTS ....another one I see quite bit of.
99-04 Grand AM GT .....there flat out everywhere you look
Mustangs ...99-04's
Every one else drives a Honda Accord . I would have to say thats the absolute most seen car on my 50 mile round trip daily commute.

I see quite alot C5 vettes as well , at least 3-4 a day .

Ive only seen maaaybe 4 300c's and no magnums as of yet

Lots of new BMW 3 and 5 series.... TONS of accords and camry's and so forth.. and I see Aveo's more often then I would expect.


It seeems I see a couple of SSR's.. I think there are a couple floating around my town.
Same goes with the Crossfire.. I see the same 3 of them everyday.
WRX are relatively common here.
The new F150's.
Expedtions
Avalanches


But for every car of thoses you see, you see a billion "avg" cars and sedan's on the road..

I see tons of 300's and Magnum's running around here in Bowling Green. These 2 types of cars are probably so noticeable to me because they are not the everyday mondain(spel.) cars I am used to seeing. Oddly enough I have only seen 1 GTO and it is the only one in town to my knowledge. Also notice several Mazda 6s around as well..

I think the SSR looks especially sharp in silver...with the top UP, of course.
Definitely! I started liking them a lot more once I saw one in silver with the top up. :thumb: (black looks good too, IMO)

I'm only going to include cars, since the number of Silverados, F150s, and Rams are off the charts out here. I bet I see more Tahoes around my town than pickups though. Maybe its just me, but in Flower Mound every other driveway has one parked in it.

In general though:

G35 (coupes and sedans are like cockroaches out here.)
Mazda 3
RX8
Malibu
Grand Prix
CTS
Mini Cooper
350Z (I think I see more verts however.)
Lancer EVOs (another surprise)
SRT-4s

Definitely! I started liking them a lot more once I saw one in silver with the top up. :thumb: (black looks good too, IMO)

Yeah, looks good in black too....but again...with the top up.

CTS and magnum around here...but when i went to napa for a day i saw more 350z's in an hour than i have in the past year O_O

In Dallas there are millions of Mini Coopers and several Scions. I've only seen 3 Magnums and 1 300m. The RX-8 is popular but not as popular as the 350z and it's ugly Infiniti relative. Of course millions of BMWs, the only awesome one (ever) being the 645ci.... if I had $86,000 and couldn't think of anything better to do with it, I'd get one.

Seems as if every other car is a Grand Prix or CTS.
Not a lot of 300's, at least as sales numbers dictate. I see maybe 3-4 a month.
A lot of new Malibu's, many of them LT or fully loaded LS's.
A lot of Accords too.
My friend has a GTO, so I see it a lot :)
and there is always that black Maxx thats always parked in my driveway ;)

with the top up

with the top up
indeed. Id still like to see a hard top with a [smaller] extended cab... a back seat with just enough room for the average 'system' or something.

All the SSR's I see are with teh top down.

Lots of 300s, very few 300Cs. Lots of Scions. The breadbox variety. Lots of Nissans as well. Particularly the Altima, Titan. I love killing Titans with the Hemi.
