Anyone else getting e-mails for owners surveys?

Took one about the navigation units and found it to be interesting...

I completed that survey last night. I registered my dislike with the system.

I haven't. Maybe they already know how much I think the Nav and voice command sucks.

Completed mine yesterday and let them know how crappy the system is. I don't expect the nav system to be the best out there, but I do expect a lot more time navigating than "finding satellites".

I ripped on the UI and the Voice command stuff. Both are abysmal in an otherwise good unit.

I filled it up last night and responded to the last q as never would recommend the nav system to friends. With that i'm surprised if i win the $500.

Just finished my survey. I panned the system.
Everything is bad except that once the phone is properly connected via bluetooth or usb - I can use spotify.

Yep, nav survey. I hate these things, they inherently skew the results based on the questions. This one was particularly bad because after telling them you don't use the bloody thing (and never have), they want to know what you think of it. I'd have preferred to forego the nav unit entirely and saved some $, or had them spend the money on a better sound system (non-touchscreen).

I completed the same survey last night. It struck me that as with many surveys (and trial lawyers) that they "led the witness" too much and really didn't ask the questions many of us would like to have answered. What will be of interest is what they do with the results.
