If you've always wondered what car models are most popular in each state, this infographic map of the US by [Popular Mechanics](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/el-diablo-burger) showcases just that. The map highlights the results of data pulled to demonstrate what the most popular car design is in each location.

While you might think you know what car is driven the most in each region, this map really puts into perspective the tastes and auto needs of various US states -- and the results might surprise you. In flat and large-spanning Southern regions larger vehicles are more popular with the [Cadillac](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pink-cadillac) Escalade EXT being the number one car in Texas and the [Nissan](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nissan-futures) Titan as number one in Tennessee. In contrast, Oregon has a high percent of sub-compact cards sold with the Smart Fortwo being the highest.
