Re: Popular new cars in your area?

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

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. )
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.

Re: Popular new cars in your area?

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.

Re: Popular new cars in your area?

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

Re: Popular new cars in your area?

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..

Re: Popular new cars in your area?

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..

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

Re: Popular new cars in your area?

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

Re: Popular new cars in your area?

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.

Re: Popular new cars in your area?

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
