Question Auto evaluation

I received a questionaire/invitation in the mail today from a market research company called Synovate to participate in an automotive evaluation by an unnamed major car manufacturer. I filled it out, we'll see what happens. Anyone ever do this?

I did a couple in CA. They will pay you $100 -$200 probably. Do it, they are fun. You are basically part of a focus group. If they don't offer you enough, ask for more, they are flexible.

I've done "e-rewards" online where I get free AA miles! Sometimes I get an auto related one. I have about $80 of reward money built up after about a year

Depends, it could just be a prototype that they want to get your opinion on. Ask them. Sometimes you do, yes.

I googled 'em - Looks like an interesting company - let us know how it goes.

I never get picked for stuff like that - I have never even been called for jury duty!

I got the call

I am scheduled to do this auto evaluation Sunday April 22rd at the Meadowlands Expo Center. Should be cool. The woman I spoke to is going to try to get me into a second group because I was so enthusiastic

I don't think there are any test drives though. These are cars that won't be out for several years. I'm a target demographic - I think that's a riot.
