(Respectfully), I don't see where that contradicts anything I've said. Subies, once a stereotype left-wing brand, has clearly expanded its popularity to many other buyers as well....primarily because of their reliability, reasonable prices, and their snow-bunny traction. I don't need daily AWD traction now as much as I did several years ago before I retired, or I'd (probably) still be driving a Subie myself.

I grew up in CT, and my dad had an '83 Subaru wagon. He LOVED it--no PS, no PB. Also--no 4WD. What can I say, my dad was cheap. Didn't matter, though--it was great in the snow with FWD.

Same here, Subaru and Dodge leading the way in some states is a bit of a shock. I thought Toyota would have more states.

I might add that while that was the old Subaru stereotype, based on what I myself saw, I did not agree with it (as I disagree with many stereotypes). I only mentioned it because that was the old picture being painted in the auto press. But the fact is that Subies are quite popular in some states with mountains and/or snowy climates, regardless of how the electorate in those states vote.

Personally, to me, most of the results on that map are not surprising. I'd say my only real surprise was the Corolla in Florida. Given Florida's high number of seniors, I would have probably guessed the Buick LaCrosse. Today, I probably see more seniors driving the LaCrosse than any other single vehicle.

i lived in seattle for few years and never would have guessed that Subbies are most popular brand there. Pretty amazing.
