    The Automotive Industry as 100 Cars [Motion Graphic]

    Imagine the entire American automotive industry represented by 100 cars. What would it look like? How many are manual or transmission? Bought or leased? What are the most popular colors, makes, and models? And, more importantly, how do you compare?

    View the infographic below for an inside look at popular consumer trends in the American auto industry.

    Type of Vehicle

    While light-duty truck sales saw a dip during the recession, they have since recovered and continued to outsell cars in 2014.

    Manufacturer
    Five years after the recession and U.S. automotive industry crisis, Detroit’s Big Three — GM, Ford, and Chrysler — are still in the top spots at 18%, 16%, and 13% respectively.

    New vs. Used
    Used vehicles continue to make up over 75% of American vehicles. While the cost of used vehicles rose slightly in 2014 — due to a rise in demand for used vehicles — prices are expected to come back down due to an increased inventory of used vehicles. 25% of all vehicles purchased in 2014 came from leases, and it’s expected that inventory will receive a further boost from more leased vehicles being turned in this year.

    Best-Selling Brands
    The Ford F-Series pickup was the most popular vehicle of 2014 by a stretch — making it the top-selling vehicle for the 33rd year in a row.

    Domestic vs. Import
    Although the top manufacturers are domestic, imports continue to represent the majority of American vehicles.

    Standard vs. Luxury
    While luxury cars represent just 7% of car purchases, the luxury market has continue to grow faster than the overall new-car market in recent years. This growth is expected to continue through 2015.

    Vehicle Color
    White has been the most popular vehicle color in the U.S. for the last eight years. The benefits of white vehicles include:  increased safety at dawn and dusk and less sunlight absorption than darker colors. White vehicles also retain their value better than other colors due to the consistent demand for white vehicles.

    Purchased vs. Leased
    In 2014, the rate of new-car sales that were leases was the highest it has ever been for the last decade. While just over 25% of new-car sales were leases, many are observing a shift in consumers. While consumers are increasingly valuing lower monthly payments over vehicle ownership.

    Fuel Types
    Despite the buzz surrounding electric and other alternative-fuel vehicles, sales are equal with those of diesel vehicles (4%). When asked why they don’t purchase an alternative-fuel vehicle, 70% of respondents cited the cost of these vehicles as their reason in a recent survey.

    Transmission
    It makes sense that manual vehicles make up just 6.5% of cars. Only about 10% of vehicles made in North America now have manual transmission.

    • It is big, luxurious, comfortable and radically fast. It will devour long stretches of tarmac and not exhaust you but most importantly, the Continental GT Speed is a Bentley that is very much ready and willing to play when the mood hits you. It is quite possibly the ultimate modern GT.

    • We have done countless launch control starts in countless cars but this has to be one of the biggest surprises so far. It's not the fastest we have tested but the way it gets 2.2 tons off the line is something to experience. Get the British brute on some grippy tarmac and you will be blown away!

0 to 100 km/h is claimed to be 3.6s and that claim is accurate!
