Population: 104,000

Until now, I've been looking at small cities.This time, I decided to study a larger one. Erie was my most challenging city yet. Since its a factory town where industry is declining (think Flint,MI  or Toledo, OH), some areas are struggling a bit. Many of the cars were likely purchased used.
The family of Chrysler Vans are far and away the most common vehicle on the road.Again, many are older models, including a few from the axed Plymouth brand. For single-model vehicles, its the Honda Accord. You'll see 3 or 4 of them at a time in some parking lots. I expected more Nissans, and the Honda CRV, one of the best-selling cars in Pennsylvania, wasn't seen in the quantity predicted either.
As I said, used cars are likely to be a big market here and coming up with a reliable list was ore challenging, but I wasn't going to rest until I logged enough findings to develop a solid top 5 list. So, as promised, the 5 most common autos in Erie:

1. Chrysler vans (by a huge margin)
2. Honda Accord
3. Honda Civic
4. Chevrolet Impala
5. Chevrolet full-size vans
