Give me POWER and AWD! Stay tuned for more.

I've done a couple of those marketing focus groups, and I enjoyed them all. You get paid for about 2 hours of time, and you get to give your opinions on current and future styling, interior layouts, etc. The last one I did compared SUVs from almost all the major manufacturers. Pretty cool. Some of the new stuff looks pretty good.

Are you just chosen randomly? Or can you sign up somewhere?

(Are you allowed to say what SUVs were there?)

I think they choose people from a list of owners of target brands/models they are testing. I've been picked for owning a 7 series, X series, and even for my Ford F series and my ATVs. They make you sign a confidentiality agreement and no picuture taking is allowed (they made me lock up my cell phone in a locker even). These tests may or may not involve test drives. It depends. Usually it involves opinion on styling and features you like/dislike. I don't know how you can sign up, but once you get on the list, they will likely call you for another test later.
