CAR MINI CASE: Carl Is Looking to Buy a New

CAR MINI CASE: Carl is looking to buy a new car because he needs more space for driving his kids to and from their after-school activities and for transporting all their gear.His wife has suggested that the family buy a station wagon, but Carl has a negative attitude toward station wagons because he feels that they are "Mom-mobiles" that consign their drivers to a life of car pools and PTA meetings.He then sees an ad for Subaru with a beautiful outdoor setting and attractive young people using a Subaru station wagon.The voice-over discusses the physical attributes of the car and the demographics of its owners.After seeing a Subaru ad portraying its station wagon as a trendy automotive option for exciting young people looking for more cargo room than a sedan and better fuel-efficiency than an SUV, Carl finds himself to be much more enthusiastic about his wife's station wagon suggestion.He purchases a Subaru, but later begins thinking that he probably should have purchased a Volvo for its reputation of greater safety.
