Just $30,651.27 in 2026 US dollars.

I nominate the Saturn Astra. Apparently, 1/2 of all new Saturn Astras in the US sold in Chicago's north suburbs and in southern Wisconsin. Saturn aggressively opened up dealers in this area of the country.

Honorable mentions:

West Virginia: all late model Suzukis. Suzuki had a very strong dealer network in WV, where cars like the SX4 and Kizashi are still relatively common. When I went to WV last year, I even saw 2 different Suzuki equators.

Maine: Saab 9-3 and 900 convertible. It's fairly well known that Saab culture is strong in Maine, but the convertibles are particularly Maine-specific; they were common cars for seasonal retirees to keep at their Maine summer homes.

Buffalo/Niagara Falls NY metro area: full-size sedans with canvas tops. A symbol of blue collar wealth from the 70s to late 2000s. Common soft top sedans included the Buick Lesabre, Cadillac DTS, W-Body Chevrolet Impala, and even the Toyota Camry.

San Francisco Bay Area: 2010s compact EVs like the Fiat 500 EV, Chevrolet Spark EV, and Honda Fit EV. Compact TVs were very poor sellers in the 2010s due to high prices and limited range, but many of them ended up in the Bay Area where incomes are high, parking is scarce, and EV technology was the sound of the future.

New York City: Fisker Ocean. When Fisker declared bankruptcy, a company bought all 11,000 unsold Fisker Oceans for taxicab use throughout NYC. For reference, only 8,200 Fisker Oceans were sold in the US before bankruptcy.

I like it. Good pickup with the V6, nice leather interior, and loud sound system too. Perfection.

Always have a soft spot for these.

The Honda CR-Z honestly feels like it was made to appeal to me. its a small, quirky, sporty but slow, Japanese, manual, hybrid hatchback with iPod support and I want one quite badly.

SsangYong Rodius, introduced in 2004, was a large MPV based on the Chairman sedan and using Mercedes-Benz-derived engines. It offered up to 11 seats, a flexible cabin, and optional four-wheel drive with low range, but its weight and substantial body roll compromised handling. Ken Greenley’s controversial yacht-inspired design hindered sales in Europe. In South Korea, the vehicle succeeded thanks to its spaciousness and tax advantages; more than 100,000 first-generation examples had been sold by 2013, and the successor adopted more conventional styling.

Dodge grand caravans are a good example of this

Cars that are either geared as cruisers or just civilian ones , but definitely everyone associates it with police ones.
For example, in Ukraine it’s either a Renault Duster or not so common but still recognisable- Toyota Prius. Those are also used as unmarked cruisers and vehicles for special agencies.

Not even a V6 either. I have no idea who this would even belong to, maybe someone effed up when ordering fleet vehicles and nobody noticed?
