Oregon’s Most-Googled Car is a Subaru Outback

Welp, this is embarrassing.

It doesn't come as much of a surprise, but the type of car Oregonians Google most is a Subaru Outback.

Apparently, we're the only state who likes them so much. The other states that Googled Subaru most were Pennsylvania and Massachusettes who really loves Subaru Imprezas, Idaho for Subaru Legacy, Utah for Subaru Crosstreck and West Virginia for Subaru Legacy. But no other state loves the Outback as much as we do.

Washington and California were the only states to have an electric or hybrid model as their most searched car. Washington searched for the Nissan Leaf, while Californians Googled "Tesla Model 3," which is just impressive.

Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas all had trucks as their most searched car. Thirteen states searched for just "trucks." With the exception of Nevada and New Mexico, these are also all red states.
