Methodology

Price point: vehicles with a base manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) of $30,000 or higher.

General appeal: determined by a number of factors, including length of waiting lists (if any), percentage of cash buyers and number of days on dealer lots.

Consumer perception: If the model is priced below $30,000 but the make is perceived to be a premium or luxury brand, it is included.

Youth appeal: percentage of buyers age 23 and younger.
