I really don't know what else to put this under.
I had a call last week by a company in Philadelphia (I'm from the
burbs of philly).
The companyies name was Group Dynamics in Focus. Was asking me to a
short interview that was focusing on An Automotive Topic. Well to
say the least I called back when the said it would take about 2
hours and the would pay me $75 bucks cash.
After doing a survey the asked me to go behind a curtain to take a
look at a couple cars. There were 6 sedans behind the curtain. They
were a Passat, Altima, Accord, Diamante, Avalon and of all things a
pre-finished Mazda6. I almost blew off the other cars to go
straight to the Mazda6 sedan. The only thing that wasn't finished
on the car was the interior door panels. After judging all the cars
on looks and comfort. They asked me to state prices on the cars.
The Mazda6 was stated to go for about $26,000 for the auto, abs,
roof, 6 way seats (I think), and a V6 with 220 hp. A stick was
going to be available.
The next section I had to go to was to look at a 5 door hatchback
(Saab 900). They asked me to compare to a mock up of (yes you
guessed it) a Mazda6 hatchback (It was a mock-up all panels done,
just not the interior). Next comparsion was from a Passat wagon
with (and you guessed it) a Mazda6 Wagon (another mockup without
interior, had to be from Japan because the steering wheel was on the
right).
The last section was for styling cues. Roof rack on the wagon, and
rims, tires, and fogs on the 5 door.
I have to say that this was a definately different take on any car
maker. I was one of the first people there in the morning, and
coming out I noticed alot of Mazda's in the parking lot so I believe
this to be a Mazda pre-release look at the car for the previously
purchased Mazda's and what they think of the new car. Wagon was
only going to be $1300 more than the sedan, and the hatchback was
going to be $700.
Leaving I was asked if I wanted another $75 to go in for a group
discussion about the car tommorrow evening. Hmmm, think I'm going?
