career-minded professionals in their
late twenties to early thirties.

up-and-coming or upper-middle-
class groups and are more likely to
be married with two children. They
are active, enthusiastic, and have a
variety of interests.
Most important, they prefer car-like
SUVs to truck-based vehicles
because they see these SUVs as
being more comfortable and
refined, as well as more fun
to drive.
