 The brand I selected is BMW, I chose this brand because I drive a BMW and I happen to love it, so I thought it'd be interesting to do a little more research to see what people are saying right now.  First, I can tell you without any research that many long time BMW M car fans are not too happy with the grille of the new 2021 G80 M3. It being so big and different from past models has a lot of people a lot angrier than the average person would expect someone to be about a car.  The companies' value proposition is very simple, super car like performance and luxury at an attainable price point.

 My name is Tyson Bowes-O'hern, I am currently finishing up my first year at LBCC while living in corvallis. I was recently accepted into the partnership program with OSU, so this coming term I will be taking classes on both campuses. My reasoning for choosing this course particularly over summer term was the fact that my roommate told me it is a fairly fun and interesting class, and that's how I like my summers to go. I am working towards my business administration degree, though it's very possible I will choose a different path in the business field. As far as marketing goes, I think the topic as a whole is interesting, and I am excited to learn the basics, and maybe move onto future marketing related classes.  Outside of school I have a few things I am very invested in. First I spend almost all of my time with friends, its something I can never get bored of. Second, I love video games, specifically computer games, and computers themselves. I built my own PC when I was 14
