A silly question: Do Mexican gangsters all drive American cars. the way they drive Toyota trucks in jihadi countries?

Depends on the victim. For example the second seizure in Sonora was a Chevrolet... Corsica, an old model phased out years ago.

For example, the kidnapping ring busted yesterday one of the seized vehicles was a Nissan Maxima, and another was a Chysler Cirrus.

The running battle in Acapulco the day before with Mexican marines, they seized a Jeep Compass, two Ford sedans, a Honda Accord and a Volkswagen Jetta.

The Ford pickups seem to be the most popular for both bad guys and victims, and Jeeps are used often, but bad guys will ride whatever they can get their hands on.

Carjacking is big business in Juarez.

Bad guys and probably everyone else in Mexico drive what they can get their hands on; about what I and half the population does.
