Your pal,

I've bought eight new cars in the last ten years and never been surveyed by them once yet....you guys are just lucky I guess.

Just got both, J. D. Power and Maritz, a week apart, and almost four months after delivery!

I got one from J.D. Power inviting me to test drive the new 2010 fortwo at a drive clinic to be held in the SF Bay Area. Not only will I get to drive the new model, but they're going to pay me $200 for the 3 hours or so of work it will take. Apparently there's a limited number of appointments, so they may get filled, but I sent in my reply within minutes of opening the letter, so hopefully I'll be in.

Obviously, you're going to keep us posted, and you'll take a camera in case there are any visual changes... Enjoy!

Shoot, I'd probably drive 3 hours to the nearest dealership just for a sneak peek at the new model. Who do I con into getting me an invite?

J.D. Powers uses starch on their $1 bills, that thing will give you a paper cut if you aren't careful.

I would love to get a sneak preview of the 2009 car, too bad I am probably not in the right market for it. I would do it for free.

Did anyone get the JDpower request to come test drive three new smarts? I got that one last week, already setup my appointment time. It is a paid field test as well - little did they know that I would pay to test drive the new smarts.
