You’ll have to view the image in it’s own window since it’s huge. Some interesting stuff in there:

I can’t remember the last time I saw an Asian in an American car.

Only 5% of people lease… I would have thought that number was much higher.

That sounds suspect to me…maybe 5% of cars on the road are currently leases when you factor in everything older than 4yrs that wouldn’t be leased anyway…

Due to my obvious bias to German cars… I find it funny that they left off a large amount high selling brands like Porsche and Bentley off that chart. Any numbers I’ve looked at for 2010 or 2011 so the Germans well outselling the Korean’s in the US, which basically leaves me questioning any statistic on that chart… other than the ones based on wishy washy “emotions”

Based on a two-thousand person sample size… I wouldn’t put too much stock in this survey’s outcomes.
