Cars R Us 59% of Americans mainly drive a domestic brand car, 27% an Asian model, and 6% a European brand. The kind of car we drive tells a lot about us. Republicans are most likely to drive a U.S. domestic brand while Democrats and independents are more likely to drive an Asian brand. 45% of self-described liberals drive domestics and 36% Asian. By contrast, almost 70% of conservatives drive domestic cars, and just 20% Asian. U.S. brands are most prevalent among older Americans, those with lower incomes, and lower education levels. Only 39% of those with graduate educations drive a domestic, while more than half drive an Asian car. (Gallup Alert 6/7/06)
