The most COMMON cars I see in NYC, Are the Honda Civic (1999), Honda Accord (2005), Jeep Liberty, Jeep Cherokee (The newer models, Not the older because god forbid we don't have a nice 94 XJ on the road! Lol) And finally, The Toyota Camry. I am more of a Chrysler/Jeep fan more than any other car maker, Due to their reliability.
I hope this helped! Also, If you are looking for a VERY RELIABLE vehicle, SUV STYLING, That isn't Japanese or Chinese, The 1994 Jeep Cherokee SE, Is amazingly reliable, And fun to drive! :).
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
