GenVibe - Community for Pontiac Vibe Enthusiasts

I was contacted by Amanda at TideWatch, a Market Research company that was contracted by GM to conduct research on Pontiac vehicles, in our case, the Vibe.This is a limited opportunity to join a research group about the Vibe via an online discussion participation session. Here is the official info and link below:Quote, originally posted by TideWatch »Subject: Opportunity to share your thoughts directly with Pontiac! Pontiac is conducting research among the online Pontiac “enthusiast” community and would like to invite our members to participate. The goal of the research is to better understand our interests and feelings about Pontiac, why we participate in communities like ours and how Pontiac can help or further add to our involvement in online communities. TideWatch, the company Pontiac has hired to do the research, is conducting a series of online focus groups (each lasting roughly 1.5 hours) in the next few weeks. The research will be online so no travel is required – you can share your thoughts from the comfort of your own home or office! If you are interested in participating in this research, you can click on the link below – it will take you to a series of questions you’ll need to answer in order to see if you qualify. You should have access to a high-speed Internet connection and be a current member of at least one online forum like this one in order to participate, and you cannot be an employee of an automotive manufacturer or dealer. Pontiac Research - Click to take initial surveyThose who qualify will be contacted directly by TideWatch to schedule participation. Any questions about the research can be directed to: PontiacResearch@tidewatch.com.More info on TideWatch: click hereI wanted to pass this along to present Pontiac (Vibe) owners on the site for an opportunity to participate in these sessions in order for you to voice your opinions towards this research. I gain nothing from this just incase anyone was wondering, I'm just passing this along to my fellow GVC members.

Took the survey, we'll see what happens. Hope to see some more GVC'ers on there!

Can't take it....I work for a car dealer, thus I am not allowed.....

Ok that would be odd because they ask if you do which I answered yes and typed in Subaru so maybe thats why it worked...

Took it I did

well, the title says both our names and i'm still an active member, so... why not?

Some people like to take surveys like this with knowing that their input may help change things for further vehicles, etc.. $ would be nice though, but I believe not offered in this instance.Looks like the response has been good so far, I hope everyone interested qualifies and can participate.

wow. actually HELP without wanting to get paid?? that's a foreign concept!

Took it..

I don't quilify, I'm a parts guy at a Pontiac dealership.

I signed up.

Welcome aboard, fellow Parts Guy!

Just got an email from TideWatch and they've asked me to participate in the online chat.Oh and jake75...this is for you, pal! Quote, originally posted by TideWatch email »We recognize the importance of your time and in appreciation of that, we will offer a $75 incentive to those who participate in this online discussion. Upon completing the research, this incentive will be mailed directly to your home address.That was a nice surprise! Now I gotta find a $75 mod...

I took the survey too...maybe I'll get contacted.

I've taken it

Hey I got accepted, I'll be damned. Membership rewards. $75 for 90 minutes? Yeah, I can find a way. Thank you NSimkins!

I did it too...hmmm...18-24, in the army, make less than 45,000 a year. I think i'm well qualified...oh yeah and i do IM

I got accepted as well... will have to see what happens now. 90 mins of my time for $75, not a bad deal if you ask me. Can't wait to see what it is about.

they also ask if you're an administrator or a forum owner of such forums.... so that takes both Phil and I out again. oh well... i'm sure you guys will do a great job representing the GVC community!

Done.

filled it all out yesterday, and got contacted today, see you all on the 9th. Funny thing is, we didn't even take possession of our new vibe till 5:00 this evening!!! Ownership sure has its perks!!! 3rd pontiac though

I took it! Joined the club!

geesh...I'm in too and don't even have a Vibe (yet!).Son has a Grand AM, but I certainly can relate some of the experiences I've had shopping for the Vibe.

I took it as well!!I wonder if i would be the only reponding person that will admit they owned a 1980 Pontiac Phoniex.

Among those who have been contacted to participate, is your date and time: Wednesday, Aug. 9, 7 pm EST?
