If we learned anything while compiling this list, it's that most of our most popular BaT picks of 2022 are American made.

Not every car that made the top 10 list of our most popular Bring a Trailer picks is U.S. Mercedes might not have wanted to call the R-class a minivan, but those of us with two working eyes know what it is.
