    If you’re a fan of foreign cars , you have plenty of company. Auto brands based outside the United States grabbed six of the top 10 spots in U.S. car sales last year, according to data from CarPro. That streak continued during the first half of 2024. There’s a reason foreign brands like Toyota , Honda, Nissan and Hyundai do so well here, and much of it has to do with getting good value for your money .
