With 797 vehicles per capita; an incredible $99.7 billion spent on car maintenance and auto repairs every year; and 2 million cars produced in the country per year; the United States of America is a country that is wholly enamoured and reliant upon four-wheeled vehicles to get them from A to B.
However, which vehicles are the car obsessed nation’s favourites? If we were to drive down Sunset Boulevard, Lombard Street or Route 66, which vehicles would we see?
