Perception barrier

Explanation:

Perception barrier in communication occurs when the preconceived idea that a person holds about a particular situation influences his choice of decision.

In such a situation, the perceiver makes a less effort in arriving at a choice as he already has a formed opinion as a driver of his choice which can always lead to a wrong choice except in a few cases.

This explains Kim's action as she is already biased about cars from United states.
