Most Americans would still prefer cars. Except for inside the large cities, rail system won't be as popular as cars. American individualism also plays a role in it. Even with the fastest high speed rail, it will still take many hours to go from coast to coast. It is out of the question for going to the opposite side of the country to work on daily basis. As a long distance traveling, the airplane is still the better option. For medium distance, cars will remain as the most popular.
Rail system is more popular in countries with less per capita car ownership.
