People tend to buy private cars today. For many people,
especially young people, owning a private car has so many
advantages that they just cannot resist the temptation to buy
a car if they could afford it.

glittering array of different models, designing to appeal to every 【S1】__
age, to every taste, to every pocket-book. For the person who
needs reliable transportation for minimum operating cost, there 【S2】__
is a large selection of small, lightweight car that travel great 【S3】__
distance on very little petrol. For the young, who demand the
ultimate in appearance and performance, there is great variety of 【S4】__
sports and specialty models. For the "young at heart"—the
middle-aged, middle-class citizen which wants a prestige mix of 【S5】__
style, size, and comfort—there is a wide range of big, sleek
cars unavailable with all sorts of optional equipment. 【S6】__
Yet finally , for the truly wealthy, there is a select group of 【S7】__
luxury cars custom building to the most fastidious taste. 【S8】__
For the basis of just these four categories, it can be said that the 【S9】__
car industry exemplifies the buyer's slogan. "You pay your 【S10】__
money, and you take your choice."
