So where do you live and what do you see as the most common vehicles? Any cars that are mainstream but you rarely see (i.e. NOT a Ferrari or something)?

Around Scottsdale I see TONS of BMW 3 Series, Toyota Camry's, and Lexuses. There's also quite a few trucks such as the F-150 and Silverado but I don't seem to see a whole bunch of Tundras. It's also fairly rare to see many Audi's or VW's. Phoenix is the land of the SUV so the Tahoe/Suburban and the Expedition/Explorer are pretty common. I haven't seen too many of the '07+ Expeditions but I have seen plenty '07+ Tahoes/Yukons/

What do you most often in your neck of the woods?

full size truck or SUV, mostly American. F-150,250,350, Silverado, Tahoe, Expedition, Yukon, Explorer and now Toyota Tundra's are popping up all over. I think the new Toyota plant they built here that makes them probably has something to do with that...

3 series, Audi A4, and the C class Benz. Unfortunately, there is an endless supply of yuppies here.

Well Speedy, since I moved to Northern Arizona, I have seen more Subarus then I have ever seen in my life. Older people seem to like them because of the all wheel drive thing, and younger people trick them out and race them. And of course, lots of SUV's and pick ups of all kinds too.

They definitely need more Prancing Horses, that's for sure..

My favorite Ferrari so far was a bright yellow Enzo that you could hear for miles away and it was in Sarajevo, Bosnia of all places.. Seems the local mob boss owns it and everyone knows who he is, but he never gets arrested, go figure... needless to say he had the only Ferrari in town and it was Hot, especially that engine.. perked my ears up the moment I first heard it
