What color cars do Americans like to drive?

A few years ago, a famous friend of Phoenix TV told me an interesting story. He said that when GM first went to China to develop the market, it found that the requirements of car buyers in China were quite different from those in North America. China buyers often have higher requirements for rear seats than North American buyers, but they have lower requirements for front seats than North American buyers. The reason is that China buyers who can afford imported cars at that time often don't drive themselves, and the owners sit in the back (mostly Volkswagen cars), so the comfort and safety of the back seats are very important. Unlike North American buyers who buy their own cars and drive them themselves, and often one person drives a car, the utilization rate of seats in the back row is very low, so whether the seats in the front row are comfortable is particularly important. With the economic development of China in recent years, there are more and more private cars in China. I wonder if the requirements for seats are still the same as in the past? This is the Ford I have been driving for eight years. Very practical and reliable. (Photo by Xiao) It is reported that China has surpassed the United States to become the largest automobile seller. Due to the economic recession, the sales of new cars in the United States fell to the bottom in 2009, and car dealers only sold 6,543,804+004,000 cars, the lowest level in 27 years. However, on the whole, American car ownership is still the highest in the world, with 246 million cars on the road, with an average of 820 cars per thousand people. A few years ago, Japanese cars such as Toyota, Honda and Nissan were popular in the United States, and Toyota once surpassed General Motors to win the North American sales champion. In the past two years, Korean cars have attracted many buyers by selling cheaply and with good quality. However, feng shui has changed greatly this year, and the sales of American cars have surpassed those of Japanese cars. Among the so-called "big five" automakers in the American market, GM and Ford are ahead of Toyota and Honda in sales, and even Chrysler, which is at the bottom, is not much different from Honda in sales. It can be seen that the efforts of the three major automakers in the United States to regroup have paid off. Chinese living in the United States generally prefer Japanese cars, thinking that Japanese cars are of good quality and moderate price, and American cars are not as good as Japanese cars. I haven't made a survey or found relevant statistical reports, but according to my direct experience, almost 80% of my colleagues, neighbors and friends in China drive Japanese cars. If you go to Chinese school on weekends, you can find that most of the cars parked in the parking lot are Japanese cars, among which Toyota Camry is the most and Lexus is the most advanced. Therefore, some people joked that if you can't find a Chinese school, just look at the parking lots of Japanese cars, and nine times out of ten it is the location of the Chinese school. But my personal experience is that the quality of American cars is not worse than that of Japanese cars. I have a Nissan Teana bought in 2004 and a Ford Explorer bought in 2002. At present, both of them have traveled about 6.5438+0.2 million kilometers. Ford car has basically not been repaired, and Nissan has repaired it twice, so I will consider Ford car next time I want to change cars. In addition to the model and manufacturer, what color to choose when buying a car is also an important factor. According to the statistics of DuPont car color popularity report, about 40% consumers will consider changing brands when they can't get the car color they want, which shows that car color plays an important role in the eyes of car buyers. The favorite colors of car buyers this year are silver (18%), white or milky white (17%), gray (15%), blue (12%) and black (1/kloc-). Silver has been the favorite of buyers for six years in a row. DuPont reported that silver gives people a clean, modern and high-tech feeling. At the same time, according to the research report of British scholars, the possibility of a car accident in a silver car is half lower than that in a white car, and the most unsafe colors are brown, black and green. In the United States, the premium when buying auto insurance is related to many factors, such as the driver's age, driving record, car model, car age, living area and so on. This is a common sense. But what is less well known is that the color of the car is also a consideration, especially the red car, and the premium will be more expensive than other cars of the same model. At the same time, driving a red car is more likely to be noticed by the police, especially on the highway. The reason is that drivers who like red cars are often fashionable young people, and they are more likely to drive fast. One year I went to Louisiana and rented a red coupe. I really feel different when I drive on the highway. Fortunately, I didn't get carried away and speeding, so I didn't get stopped by the police. However, driving a red car is really refreshing.
