I've been a member of an auto insight survey community for about 4-5 months now. They basicly ask you to complete surveys and/or discuss a topic related to cars. I'm not sure who sponsors the site...maybe GM, maybe a cooperative thing, I'm not really sure. Supposedly they use the information gathered to help determine the direction of the auto industry. Some of the things, however, are pretty specific...what kind of cup holders do you like, how many, etc. You earn "points" for completing the various activities.

They don't take a lot of time, maybe 20-30min/week. Every month or two they send you a gift certificate to Amazon.com for $10-$25. When I showed that I had some interest in alternative energy vehicles they added me to a private forum for technology/alternative energy and I get more points for participating in that.

In any case, I got an e-mail today saying they're looking for more people. If anyone's interested here's the URL:
http://www.gongos.com/GP6421/referral.asp

if you put my name and e-mail down I get a point for each person who signs up. That's not why I'm posting this so if you don't want to put that down but still want to join that's OK too.
the e-mail I use there is evanfusco AT aol.com

I've been rejected.

They said they had too many people who drove my kind of car.

Triplicate post.

What is going on with Priuschat. I'm not the only one. I've seen triplicates of other posts too.

That's too bad. I hope Daniel and some of our EV owners sign up.

I too was rejected - same reason. Will they count the reference anyway? They should!

Don't know if the references count or not. If not that's OK with me, I'm not in it for the money, I like having a say in the future of the industry.
