What factors do you consider when purchasing a new car? Most people would say style, individual needs, and budget are the three main things that influence their purchase decision. However, where you live is apparently a major factor too.

This makes sense, when you consider that people who reside in different areas of the country generally live different lifestyles, and therefore have different wants and needs. A recent study has confirmed this, by naming the top five best selling cars in each of the four major regions of the United States (Northeast, Midwest, South, and Western regions).

So, what are people driving in your part of the country? Do you fit the list, or do you break the mold?
