Toyota prius hahah

If you're going strictly off of sales numbers, the average american prefers a mid-sized sedan (Toyota Camry, Ford Fusion) or a light Truck (Ford F150).

There is no "typical" (or even "average") American. There is not one type of Ameeican. As far as cars that Americans prefer, it depends on a mixture of several components, including attitude toward cars, needed function(s) of a car, gas mileage, price. So a "soccer mom" might want a minivan, a business executive might want an expensive car, a single person might want a two-door coupe, a "family man" might want a sedan that fits five, a recent college graduate might want an expensive car to display wealth or a gas-saving car out of concern for the environment, and a high school student will use whichever car his parents allow him or her to. People who live in rural areas might prefer a pickup. Some people prefer SUVs, some people despise them. All this explains why there are large variety of cars manufactured.

Oh, yes, perfect =)

Hmmm what about, "What kind of car does the average American prefer nowadays?" (We assume this means folk from the US)
