New York and Texas get the same cars, but GEORGIA gets a Leaf?

I call BS.

Yeaaaaah, noticed that about half an hour after posting the thread. -_-; I blame modifying the headline a few times before posting it and not proofreading...

I had trouble earlier today googling the American Standard chicken nugget toilet GIF. I was typing Amarica.

It said that Texans buy Mazda 2s at about three times the normal rate of the rest of the country. But I almost never see them. Maybe they are more common in the metro areas?

It is the largest state. (Not counting Alaska, one of the freak states) They're just more spread out.

If I win the lottery I think I'm buying the big KIA. I see Rolls, Bentleys, and Maybachs every day in Manhattan but I have never seen the KIA. I do see a stretched Equus that belongs to an embassy from time to time but never the KIA.

Or it could be that nationally they make up 0.5% of new car sales, so in Texas they make up 1.5%. Still a pretty low percentage.

Especially when you figure in how many cars are on the road compared to annual sales.

A really misleading article.

Those things are everywhere in Atlanta traffic. Georgia had an electric car subsidy program going that would impress a lot of blue states.
