Imported Vehicles Vs. Domestic Vehicles I will be writing an opinion based research paper. As you may know, there is a large amount of contention over whether there are any advantages of buying a car made overseas, or out of the USA vs. a car made domestically, or inside of the USA. This research will be a study on the difference in preference of imported vehicles or domestic vehicles between different groups of individuals on the basis of Gender, Age, and Ethnicity. My population will be Dr. Smith’s 3 classes. The research methods will be that of a short survey. I chose to do this because ever since I was a young kid, I have always been extremely intrigued by Automobiles. Personally, I have no preference between imported or domestic vehicles, I have owned and driven both, and while one may be different from another, it doesn’t mean that one is advantageous over another. Really, it depends much on what you are using the vehicle for, and even then, you have very comparable offerings from both markets. I would like to see what other people’s opinions may be, and where their allegiances may lie. That is the purpose of my study.
