New Car PurchaseZena has been promoted to vice-president at the management consulting firm she works for. Her status has led her to consider the need for a new car. Her trusty little Volkswagen Beetle had over 100,000 miles on it and no longer seemed appropriate. Susanne, another vice-president, suggested that Zena consider a car produced in the United States because the consulting firm she works for has a policy of supporting U.S. businesses. Zena began her quest for a new car by visiting several car dealers and obtaining pamphlets on the models she is considering. She also studied Consumer Reports magazine, Car and Driver ratings, and other consumer rating publications to see what the experts think.

believes the car is a good fit with her new image and position in her company. Now that she has purchased the car, she has seen more advertisements touting its features than she ever noticed before.
