JD Power & Associates Letter/ smart Drive Clinic

I got a letter today from JD Power & Associates. I was going to scan it and post it, but my scanner seems to have forgotten how to do OCR and I'm too lazy to type it all out. Here is the gist:

smart is introducing new models in 2010 and they are offering test drives to a limited number of people in the SF area and asking them to complete a questionnaire. The test drives are in mid-September.

Cool or what?

I already told them I want to participate.

Anyone else get this letter?

Dear Current smart fortwo Owner,

smart is currently developing a new fortwo model that is scheduled to enter the U.S. market in 2010. As a current fortwo owner, your insights and perspective are invaluable in helping to shape the future of the fortwo. As a result, smart and J.D. Power and Associates would like to invite you to test drive and evaluate the new fortwo model.

The smart fortwo Drive Clinic will be held in the San Francisco area from September 18th through September 23rd. During this clinic you will have the opportunity to test drive several different fortwo vehicles and provide your feedback by completing a short questionnaire on each of the vehicles. Your participation in the evaluation will take approximately 3 hours. In appreciation of your participation, a $200 cash incentive will be given.

There are a limited number of appointments available each day, so your prompt response is essential.

If you are interested in taking part in this evaluation, Please contact ***** ****** via email at ********@****** When replying, please include "smart Drive Clinic" in the subject line and provide the following information: your name, city, phone numbers (home, work or mobile), and the best time to reach you.

Thank you,

****** **********
Project Coordinator

All supposition, of course, but possible smart Li ion battery test cars for California in 09?

Smart could start testing lithium ion ForTwo in 2009, possibly in LA - AutoblogGreen

Yup. That's the one! I'm guessing electric and/or hybrid, etc., etc. As soon as I get any other info, I'll post it here.

I got one of those, and sent in my response, but haven't heard back yet. I'll be really bummed if all the slots are filled.

I replied as soon as the letter arrived, but so far no reply. They probably didn't realize how eager the smart owners would be.
