  US is 6th, so not far off, but fewer cars per person than the rampant car culture of ... Iceland and New Zealand? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_vehicles_per_capita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_vehicles_...

    Even in Europe, cars are quite common for everyone. Maybe less for the middle class in big cities, but the traffic in London and Paris is quite terrible.

    The US is a pretty disparate place. Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_vehicles_per_capita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_by_vehicle... If you compare to Iceland and New Zealand, you have to compare with rural US states. But still, not as bad as I thought TBH.
