Default GM Survey

Has anyone received an email from Consumer Survey GM with the following details? I'm just wondering if it's a scam as I am already a member of the C7 Advisory Board.
Dear Corvette Owner:

Chevrolet is looking for feedback from 2014 Corvette owners about their ownership experience and would really appreciate your input. This study is different from any other communications you might have received in relation to your new Corvette purchase.

As a way of thanking you, at the conclusion of the survey you will have the opportunity to enter a sweepstakes drawing for a chance to win one of two $500 American Express® gift cards*.

The survey will be available through June 25, 2014. The following link will take you directly to the beginning of the survey:

Thank you for your participation.

It's real. I just went through the whole thing. As with most business surveys, it's frustrating. WAYYYYYY too many questions and the entire final third of the survey is an obvious grab for third-party marketing statistics on you ("Indicate your interests: Theater, camping, dining..."). Some of the questions are idiotic in sequence (Have you bought a Corvette before? Have you bought a luxury sports car before, eg: Corvette? Have you bought a GM car before? Have you bought a Chevrolet before? ).

Why so skeptical?????

I just took it too. It was a lot of questions, but I'm enthusiastic about my C7. I'll answer their questions gladly.

GM is just trying to get a psychgraphic feel for the C7 purchaser.



Hey, don't take the survey-that means I have an even better chance to win the $500 Gift Card!

Yes, it showed up in my email this afternoon. I have assumed it was a scam so I deleted the file without opening it..

If I do not know the sender I delete!

I took the survey but did not register for the $500 giveaway as it shifted to another website to fill in this info. Don't like redirects.

I've seen that before. Sounds like the type of questions (redundant) that if any are answered differently invalidate at least that section. I noticed that too.

what a bunch of luddites. vision critical is a legit, full-service MR firm. does your corvette gear come lined with tin foil? perhaps some of you should have requested communications from GM via stagecoach and/or pony express.

it's as if obama himself penned the survey and sealed the envelopes with nancy pelosi's bile with the reactions to this solicitation for feedback. SMH.

It's all good.......I love the car and I don't mind talking to GM about my experience with their car, so far. Maybe some of the non-skeptics will win the money.
