Potential changes in interest rates could impact financing for luxury cars, so I feel that should be included in the stress testing considerations.

I remember a practice question that emphasized the cost of designing new products, so I think that should be a key factor here.

B, D, and E are definitely the most relevant factors. You can't just assume consumers will want a luxury brand without research, and the design and financing costs are crucial.
