THINKING:  Millennials  are  the  most  educated  genera2on  in  US  history.  They  are  overachievers  and  are  sheltered  by  their  parents,  the  government  and  the  school  system  so  they  can  succeed  (raised  under  Clinton’s  “Kinder  Poli2cs”)    -­‐No  car  in  the  subcompact  category  is  talking  to  the  career-­‐oriented  ambi2ous  youth.
