When an individual driver tries to decide which new car to buy, he or she considers not only the price range of the vehicle. Personal preferences and a host of individual idiosyncrasies also come into play. Buyers classified as affluent may contemplate purchasing a sleek new Lincoln Continental. Being spacious enough to seat six passengers comfortably, this automobile is seen as a status symbol that serves to flaunt the wealth of its owner.

Those purchasers with more garish tastes may prefer a Cadillac or perhaps a Chrysler New Yorkers. These exclusive models are as roomy as the Continental and also provide the owner with a tangible, conspicuous means to display his or her affluence. Individuals who are not as highly remunerated in their careers may wish to make a less audacious purchase, however. The line of contemporary Buick models may be an option for these car buyars. The lack of an imposing sticker price makes these models a shrewd choice for individuals with less stuffy personalities.

Yet, the prices of all of these models may present obstacles to those consumers beset with financial problems. Many American people consider a car to be an indispensable necessity for their day-to-day activities, but they simply cannot afford to patronize the expensive dealerships. Plymouth and Chevrolet have found an innovative and ingenious solution to this dilemma: the compact car. Most consumers, even those earning a pittance, can afford compact models such as the Neon and Metro since they are not as luxurious as Cadillacs or New Yorkers.

For #2, I would say the answer is C. The passage never commented on the price of a Continental. It only said that it was a car purchased by affluent (well-to-do) people.
