Subarus may be tough enough to fly into Cherry Creek Trail, they may be a local cultural phenomenon, but they are not the most popular make of car registered in Denver County. Not in 2015 or 2016 anyway. 

Yes, in this chart of the week, Toyotas asserted themselves as the make of choice for Denver car owners.

Jeeps barely missed the cut, coming in sixth.

The 2016 registrations mostly just show that Denver is not a special snowflake. Toyota and Ford are two of the biggest car sellers in the United States. Honda was also in the top five, according to Automotive News' November 2016 data.

Subarus do seem to be more popular in Denver than the rest of the country though. Nationally, Nissan, Jeep and Hyundai each are more popular than Subarus. Not in Denver though:

Among the makes, rankings were the same for 2015. Yes Fiat and Scion owners, that does mean that Smart Car registrations were more popular in Denver than your particular make.
