4 July 4th patriotic fun facts about what Americans drive
In celebration of July 4th, Swapalease.com has come out with some patriotic fun facts about what Americans are driving.
Though men and women may share the same anticipation for the holiday, Swapalease says that males drive American-made cars considerably more than females.
While 67 percent of men drive American-made cars, the site found that just 44 percent of women do.
Men and women also differ where they stand on their pick of colors red, white and blue, according to the online lease marketplace.
The data from Swapalease also shares some state-by-state notes, including states where red, white and blue cars are most prevalent. In what shouldn't come as too big a surprise, Kentucky — The Bluegrass State and home to the Wildcats wearing that color — was one of the top areas for blue.
Below are charts detailing the various differences and other fun facts:
