Prices of the 2016 Honda Civic Sedan start at $18,640, and rise to $26,500 for Touring models.

If you think the wealthiest Americans all drive either a Lexus, Mercedes or Porsche, think again.

A new study from MaritzCX found that the Ford F-150 was the most popular vehicle among people earning more than $200,000 a year, according to USA Today.

Why is that? Many “regular cars” now offer the same features that come equipped with expensive vehicles.

MaritzCX told USA Today that there’s been a steady shift out of luxury vehicles as more wealthy people opt to buy SUVs and trucks instead.

That’s certainly reflected in the top five list of vehicles rich people choose to drive.

Although the vehicles on this list have starting prices of $30,000 or less, they can easily cost more than $40,000 once you add on the features that you really want.
