 What factors influenced the particular cars purchased? Cost, comfort for family
 How have popular makes and types of cars changed over time? Cars every year
became more and more comfortable and safe for users. And the demand for cars in
ordinary people's lives began to increase, which is why manufacturers only expanded
their capabilities
 How have consumer demands changed over time? as the market began to expand,
consumers began to demand better quality and comfort at more affordable prices
 How has the country of origin of cars changed over time? Earlier in the market of
foreign cars, everyone used only German cars, and now people have begun to pay
attention to Korea, Japan, America and other manufacturers.
 How do purchasing decisions link us to others around the world? All people around
the world prefer the same car marks
 How might purchasing decisions affect the lives of workers in Kazakhstan and
overseas?
