If it isn't a Subaru Outback it is a close second with the Prius. The Subaru I can understand due to the weather in VT, but Prius baffles me for driving in rural VT.

I can't say what the most common car is. Probably a civic or something. The make that seems most indicative of the area, however, is Subaru. Lots of people like having the AWD for getting up and down the mountains during the winter.

In my town, I'd go with a sixth generation Toyota Camry... in Lowell, definitely Honda shitboxes. Civic, Accord, they all look the same - beat to hell pieces of shit.

Raised trucks with gigantic shocks, and tires that could pass for a whale's anus.

Oh hai, you must be my neighbour, because I see that a lot where I live.

Edit: Oh, tons of Civics, Camrys and Accords too. A mix of older and newer models. Most driven horribly. Except for me. In my Accord. Ha.

Prius, Lexus, Mercedes, large SUVs and Minivans.

You do not see as many Hummers as you use to.

LOL. I visited my brother at Cornell in like 1990 and it did seem like every car was a Subaru, and they all needed to be washed (December).

Everyone has a Subaru.

My new neighbors only have a Mazda MX5 soft top, they will probably end up buying a Subaru after the first real snow.
