Mazda Online Focus Group for RX-8
A rep from Mazda called me Wednesday and asked me if I wanted to participate in a paid, online focus group for the RX-8. She asked me for my email address and said she would send me an email invite. Just wondering if any one else was contacted.

i was apart of it too. got the call a few weeks ago and already did the survey, they really give you a lot of freedom to say what you feel even if its not listed. I told them my thoughts on improvements but also told them how much i love this car, and to keep it going.
btw...you can redo and add to the survey as much as you want, so maybe i can add the trunk thing..

Yeah, the trunk release drives me crazy. But at least it isn't as silly as sun visors with holes. I in favor of weight reduction but that makes no sense!

Very odd.. not a few days after I posted the message above.. and today I get a call at work "Would you like to be a part of a virtual focus group for your Mazda RX-8".
Heh I was like "Sure" and she took all my info and when asked when I should expect this focus group to take place, she said I should expect it to start in about 2 weeks or so.
can't wait!

All they said was that they might send me some cupons for free oil changes...
I completed the survery a month ago. Nothing to date.

Finished Focus Group
Well..
The focus group was not what I expected...
Typically they are a bunch of people in a room talking about various topics...
By Virtual.. i assumed we'd be in some sort of chat with the engineers and people running the groups.
Nope...
This actually turned out to be a Focus SURVEY
Below is the email I received the other day:
The questionaire is also not very friendly, with you having to enter your email address for each topic.. and if you have multiple concerns per topic you fill out a 2nd form for each. I guess each filling out generates an email to be sent to a specific area in Mazda.
Oh well at least we got to give our voice something
Also.. the link above seems to either be deactivated now.. or being hammered as I could not go back and any information today, it keeps prompting for a login/password and or survey ID. (My guess is it's just hammered)
YOu also could only send a comment if your email address was on file as being one of the recipients of the email above, so no use entering a comment if you didn't get the email (I tried faking the email and it didn't like that
