True or not, doesn't explain the 'east coast' vs 'west coast' thing
Guys I live in Phoenix, which is pretty far west, and trust me, there's no shortage of Rams and Fords here, nor is there a saturation of GMs.
I'm not sure there is a east vs west thing to discuss in actuality. I grew up in Ohio (midwest), lived in Jersey/worked in NYC (east coast) and have lived in Scottsdale/Phoenix for 7 years now and if there's a regional thing going on I haven't noticed it.
What I have noticed is a MUCH higher percentage of black vehicles in the midwest and east versus out here.
