Why post a survey that was privately sent to AMG owners here in a public forum?

Opening it to anyone and everyone who clicks the link just dumbs down the survey results...... honestly.

I myself never received it. This is a public forum, but the majority of the people in this sub-forum, or any other AMG sub-forum are or were AMG owners. The few that do not own AMG's most likely will not take the time to answer a questionnaire about the driving experience of a vehicle they do not own.

Thanks for the link.. M-mode 100%

This isnt a Walmart site. This is a MB forum and the post was done in the C63 section. Anyone who finds themselves here either has one or is interested in owning an AMG. I welcome both of those opinions and im sure AMG does as well.

But it was a private survey and the decision should be theirs not yours. People like you are the reason they will stop asking us for our opinions on the Private Lounge.

Looks like they shut down the survey.

The survey was available by simply googling " Mercedes AMG survey" It wasnt private.

If it was private it would require a login and VIN registration to complete. So please stop your crying.. sheessh...

I don't need to feel special, I AM SPECIAL (needs)

My point was... if I were conducting targeted research, as it appeared to be the case with this survey, the results would be useless once the pool included participants outside the target audience. I was only showing respect for the researcher. It's not your survey, so who are you to decide?

I hear ya. I honestly dont know how they got my email address. The email came through a different address then im registered for with the PL. Maybe my dealership...

I provided others in a target market on a site dedicated to the C63 market the survey. I dont think I was doing the survey injustice at all. On the contrary I think I was giving it a wider audience by providing people who didnt get it an opportunity to fill it out or dont check Email or simply didnt register for the PL.

Anyone who doesnt own an AMG that fills out that survey for kicks just to throw off the results should get their head checked. Do you really think someone without an AMG would bother? If you think so, care to share as to their motivations?

I think propain helped the survey a LOT more than he hurt it. He alerted other AMG owners to the survey, which helps AMG collect more data. AMG could've locked the survey and limited it's participation to those who have received the invite by e-mail but they did not do that for a reason

This is part of the problem with the web. Many seem to think that every piece of information that they get is for sharing.

You said that you "think that propain helped the survey a LOT more than he hurt it." But you really have no idea.

If they wanted it shared, then perhaps they would have asked everyone to send it to all of their friends that own AMG's.

I actually like the Private Lounge so I would rather have it than not have it.
