    In Puławy, Poland, it's 90s/00s French cars in general. They resonate really well with the reality of a frugal working-class town without much interest in cars.

    However, the really popular models are the Renault Scenic, Peugeot 307 and Renault Megane Mk2. You can't swing a dead cat without hitting one.

    2nd gen Sportages/1st gen Tucsons, Mk1 Discoveries and all Volvo V70s are also quite unusually common.

    Skyline R32s. I've seen several, and I have no idea why there are as many in my area as there are.

    Kia Sportage Mk4, Hyundai Tucson Mk2, Renault Kadjar are pretty common, considering their relatively high price tag.
    Also, some Japanese cars, like Toyota Yaris, Nissan Micra, etc.
    I don't know if Alfa Romeos are common elsewhere than Italy, but here they are very numerous. Mostly 147, 156 and 159.

    this is the opposite of the question being asked, but I don't think I've ever seen an FD RX7. at all, in my entire life.
    plenty of skylines/supras/FC RX7s, as well as way rarer stuff (GT40s, yotahachis, aventadors, f40s, bolwell ikaras, even a trabant or two, etc.)
    I swear they must be a car that was entirely fabricated by the internet.
    as much as I like them, they just mustn't exist.

    In France, in Birttany, we can see a lot of 90', 2000' and 2010' cars.
    We can see a lot of "old" Renault like Clio I and II, Safrane, Megane with black smokes but there also are newer like Renault Zoe, Clio V (in City). But Also a lot of Peugeot, Volkswagen (Golf the most of the times), and a lot others brands car.

    In the Countryside, at the North of Paris, we can see older car (in general), like Peugeot 205, Renault 5, old Volkswagen Golf (II and III), Passat.

    It's the most common car at these two locations in France, I think, but we can see more exotic car sometimes, like Honda Civic, Ford Mustang, Tesla Model 3, ... In my case, I drive a Clio II, build in 1998, with 1.2L (petrol) engine (around 60 HP), very common car here..

    You can't turn a corner without seeing either a Honda, Nissan, Or a Toyota in my area. I know they are pretty common everywhere that has them, but here it's just weird, it's like you can't escape them.

    There's most likely dealers for those brands in that area then. In my area, Hondas are everywhere (especially Civics)

    Surprisingly enough, Honda Odysseys are fairly more common than, let's say, a Chevrolet Malibu here. Trucks are also literally everywhere so there's that too.

    Nope. No dealers where I live. Except for shady used car dealerships.

    Upstate NY here.

    A lot of pretty wealthy city people (New York City) spend weekends/summers here and, for some reason, there are a lot of Teslas. It's Honestly a little freaky lol.

    There's also a pretty big Subaru/dodge/jeep/etc. dealer owned by a local family, so a lot of Outbacks and Wranglers as well.

    Can confirm all of this to be true as I'm also in Upstate NY. Also, I think I might know which dealership you're talking about.

    You definitely don't, but that dealership is a long a route I've been through before.
