EXCUSE ME ... WHERE'S TEXAS ????
YOU LEFT TEXAS OFF YOUR LIST ... BUT I'M SURE IT'S THE F-150 OR F- 250 HERE ... EVERY OTHER TEXAN HAS A TRUCK !!!
Pickups rule. "best selling car" is a JOKE Next to the list of best selling vehicles. The best are trucks. Here's why: A FRAME. Strong, good in an accident, harder to get stuck, great visibility, good looks, lots of room and load space. An F150 can carry a smart car, the passengers in the smart car, all the stuff you can pack in a smart car, and still carry a Camry. Rear wheel drive (superior traction), nice big powerful V8. What the majority of people want. F150 sells more in a week than all the VOLTS that will ever be sold.
MSN must be really pissed Obama has no chance in Texas this Nov because they seem to have left them out.

What's the most popular car in your state?
By Matthew de Paula of MSN Autos
Where you live affects what you drive. It could be the weather that dictates one vehicle over another, or it might be the way social norms lean. For example, pickup trucks are popular in the Midwest, while fuel-efficient foreign cars dominate California and New York. To see who drives what where, we compiled a list of top-selling vehicles by state. The data come from Experian and are based on new-vehicle registrations from January through June 2012.

ALABAMA
Toyota Camry | 4,509*
Toyota redesigned the Camry for 2012, with a bolder look, more dynamic ride and handling, and revised engines that are more powerful yet also more efficient. Toyota spent a lot of effort making the interior quieter, too. Three powertrains are available: a 4-cylinder, a V6 and a hybrid. The Toyota Camry is America's best-selling car for 10 years running and is the top seller in 10 states. Toyota's reputation for reliability and quality are big selling points.

Ford F-150 | 989*
Ford's full-size pickup has been the best-selling truck in the United States for 34 years in a row and the best-selling vehicle of any kind for 29 straight years. So it's no surprise that it is the top seller in 22 states — the most of any vehicle on this list. Partly that's because trucks aren't just for work anymore; people now use them as everyday drivers. Changes to the F-150 for 2013 include new front-end styling and the MyFord Touch control system with voice activation.

Trucks have been top sellers in this country for decades, but Chevy has lagged behind Ford for a while. The Silverado is tops in only three states, compared with the Ford F-150's 22, but it lands in the top three 25 times. The current Silverado debuted in 2007 and is in its last year before undergoing a complete redesign.

HAWAII
Toyota Tacoma | 1,615*
Smaller trucks aren't that popular in the U.S., so it's surprising to see one on this list. Then again, the Tacoma is the top seller in Hawaii, which has a much different culture than the mainland. The Tacoma has a jittery, uncomfortable ride on pavement but it is great off-road. Its small cargo bed can't haul much compared with larger trucks, though. The Nissan Frontier Nissan Frontier and Chevrolet Colorado/ GMC Canyon are its only competitors.

Ford's midsize family car is a solid choice in the hotly contested midsize-sedan segment, having proved reliable and earning good crash-test ratings. An all-new version comes out in fall 2012 and looks totally different. Fuel economy is a major focus now, so the V6 engine has been axed from the new lineup. A trio of 4-cylinder engines will be available; the smallest, a 1.6-liter, will get an estimated 26 mpg city/37 mpg highway.

TENNESSEE
Nissan Altima | 4,888*
The Nissan Altima was the second-best-selling car in America for 2011. It is the top seller in three states and within the top three for an additional eight states. The 2013 model on sale now is all-new, with styling and technology approaching that of a premium sedan. It has given up some of its sporty flair in favor of more comfort and amenities. The 4-cylinder version gets excellent fuel economy: 27 mpg city/38 mpg highway.
Runners-up: Toyota Camry, Ford F-150

TEXAS
Ford F-150 | 33,494*
Ford's full-size pickup has been the best-selling truck in the U.S. for 34 years in a row and the best-selling vehicle of any kind for 29 straight years. So it's no surprise that it is the top seller in 22 states -- the most of any vehicle on this list. Partly that's because trucks aren't just for work anymore; people now use them as everyday drivers. Changes to the F-150 for 2013 include new front-end styling and the MyFord Touch control system with voice activation.

VERMONT
Subaru Outback | 766*
The states where the Subaru Outback is the most popular seller — Vermont and Washington — get enough snow in winter to make all-wheel drive practically a necessity. And since Subarus are best known for their all-wheel-drive systems, it's a natural fit. The five other states where the Outback falls within the top three for sales also have harsh winters. The 2013 Outback gets minor styling changes, a slightly more powerful and more fuel-efficient 4-cylinder engine, and tweaks to the chassis for a smoother ride.

VIRGINIA
Toyota Camry | 5,887*
Toyota redesigned the Camry for 2012, with a bolder look, more dynamic ride and handling, and revised engines that are more powerful yet also more efficient. Toyota spent a lot of effort making the interior quieter, too. Three powertrains are available: a 4-cylinder, a V6 and a hybrid. The Toyota Camry is America's best-selling car for 10 years running and is the top seller in 10 states. Toyota's reputation for reliability and quality are big selling points.
