In Leusden, you’ll stumble over the Porsches. In the near Kroymans, you’ll stumble over the Ferrari’s. Around Louwman Exclusive is a wealth of the Morgans. At least, that you might think. Time to give it a check.
Such as your Sunday afternoon all could read, came to RTL News last week with Buurtfacts, a new site where you can find out all about your neighborhood. So in my near 25 to 44 years are the largest age group and 50% of the residents are unmarried, while there is a surplus of women between 20 and 30; time to get the Tinder to install so. But in addition to these essentials you can also important side issues find as the most common or most typical car. For example, the most typical car in my neighborhood the Skoda Fabia Combi with 75 hp and a car that I was in the whole street, incidentally, can not find (in contrast to three Defenders).
But enough about my neighborhood. For my feeling, I come in Leusden will always be a Porsche and I see in Hilversum is always a Ferrari. But it is also true that everyone in the place where an importer is established in a car of that brand is? You would think so, because many employees, when importers have a company car. Moreover, they tell their neighbors, friends and family full of enthusiasm about their brand. In short: in Rijswijk, the netherlands would be above average a lot of BMW’s must have been, in Utrecht you hear about the Mercedi to stumble, und so weiter. We went once after for the municipalities where the importers are located.

Some deviations are minimal, others are larger. But it seems like a sad idea that you are the importer of Alfa and Fiat works, and then every time you look out the window all Fords (the most popular brand in that municipality). Something like you see in Amsterdam, where among others, Ford, Peugeot and Citroën are located, because that is Volkswagen’s most popular brand.
Mazda the Netherlands in Waddinxveen are located, which restrains the remainder of that municipality to Peugeot to drive (there are 1.300, at 254 Mazda’s).
In Utrecht, where Mercedes-Benz Nederland, BMW (3005) and Audi (2682) more popular than Mercedes (2498). There drive in that city less Benzes than average and more BMW’s and Audi’s. In Rijswijk, around the office from BMW Netherlands, mercedes benz cars are actually more popular (614 at 570).
And to finish with bad news: the presence of a car dealer from the eredivisie is no guarantee that the rest of the neighborhood grows in taste. So can you at Porsche Centre Gelderland and the Porsche Classic Center Gelderland great cars, but the most typical car for the municipality of Overbetuwe is the Daihatsu Cuore automatic transmission. That Louwman Exclusive a pure pornopaleis for the car enthusiast, is not to say that utrecht residents there flock back ran for a McLaren or a Morgan; the most popular car in Utreg is the Polo.
In Leusden you can Pon go for Bugatti, Lamborghini, Bentley and Porsche, but everyone in Leusden rides in other cars of the group: the Golf is the most popular car, followed by the Polo, while the Skoda Yeti the most typical car. What is striking is that the number of Auto Unions, with 18 whopping 28 percent higher than average.
If we in Hilversum would live, we would try a Ferrari, an Aston Martin or even Jaguar to the fish shop of Kroymans. If not the citizens of Hilversum, which is massively on the Opel Corsa, Peugeot 107 and Renault Twingo have deposited.
In Eindhoven, we would be lovely with the beautiful Marissa van Laarhoven go home, but if fails still, at least with a car from her shop, Cito Motors. There, you can go for a Rolls-Royce or an Aston Martin, or if you are more modest want to keep a Jaguar or a Land Rover. Curiously enough come brands however none of them in the list of 50 most popular cars in Eindhoven. This also applies to Mercedes, the brand that sponsor is from PSV.
And what does this say now? In fact, because importers are – a few exceptions – no shops where they actually sold cars. But at the same time, everything. Because how do you want the country to go conquer with your brand as your own neighbors already can’t convince?
