Default Automotive Research Study

I received a letter last week from a company called MORPACE International, Inc. It invited me, as an xB owner, to participate in an automotive research study. They are offering $50 to participate in a 1 hour session, and an opportunity to receive $250 in a drawing if I go. Any other "boxers" receive such a letter. Did you go? Are you going to? Is this legitimate or some kind of scam? They say it is NOT a sales promotion.

I got the same letter. Figure $50 if I'm selected is worth my time/input!

just sounds like a focus group. easy money. they know you just bought a car, you arent really a target market to sell anything to.

I'd go. $50 for an hour of doing nothing sounds good to me.

I got a letter leik that after I bought my ford ranger!!! $50 for an hour of my time!!! Easy money!! You go and they ask you a hole bunch of questions about your car how you like it and in my case what I thought of the soon to be released Chevrolet colorado! You see it dosent necessarily meen that toyota is doing the study! It could be interesting I hear nissan has been looking into marketing the Cube over here!! If you guys go let us know if they ask you anything pertaing to the Cube!!!
