Two guys I work with just bought Dodge Journeys, the second for one of them.  They keep insisting they are not minivans, I beg to differ which somehow seems to really bother them.

This thread got me thinking. There are barely any new cars out where I live..mostly used imports.

I don't really see that many "new" cars, mostly they are older.  Ottawa is frugal when it comes to cars, I have seen a lot of Sonata's but then I notice they are rentals.  Two of my neighbours recently purchased Elantra's and another a Sonata, highlighting the frugal point.

Tons of Ford Fusions and for sure every 2nd vehicle I see on the road is a late model Ford F150 truck followed closely by Ford Escapes.

Tried to take a look on my way home and noticed that it would be the Toyota Venza or Mazda3 otherwise mostly 2-3 (or 5-8) year old cars. Of course, after you buy a house in the Beaches, you can't afford a new car.

Yep, I do see quite a number of Venzas around town. That and the Elantra Touring. Those are the two 'new' models that I notice the most.

Here in Vernon, I would guess Ford Fusion and Honda Civic, in Kelowna it seems like the BMW 3-series. To paraphrase The Chickenman, they're everywhere, they're everywhere!

Most popular new car in Serbia is the Fiat Punto Classic.  Based on the previous generation Punto, it's built in Serbia and is the cheapest car on the market.  Dacia Sandero comes in second, followed by Skoda Fabia and Hyundai i20.
I'd rather be car-poor than house-poor...

I don't know what's in the water in Gatineau but they love the "new" Mitsubishi Lancer (2008+) and half of them are white.  You barely see them in Ottawa. There's also a lot of Hyundai Accents ... new and old.
