Default It's an auto segmentation survey

They ask questions about auto usage, price preference, body style, performance etc. They run statistical analysis on the responses and group people into segments. e.g. Sports car segment, Truck segment, economy segment, etc. On a basic level, it tells them how many segments exist and the size of each.

Wouldn't worry about it not being an official GM site. Chevy is probably paying them to conduct the research and receives a report with findings.

I just clicked the recommendations and then only filled out the survey on the Camaro portion. I also told them that they need to offer wheels with a lip, I hate factory wheels that are flat and flush with the outside of the rim.

I filled it out and told them that they need to offer a V8 bare bones optioned Camaro with the Z06 clutch, base model wheels, oil cooler, deeper rear gears, and power accessory, radio, and air conditioning delete for around $25k.

Good luck on that actually happening right? We'll get our giant tank of a Camaro with features that belong on my great aunt's Buick.

Seriously, who are the bling bling wannabees that NEED a heavy 20" rim from the factory? I'd rather get the base wheels and upgrade to a Foose, Fikse, HRE, or other design of my liking.
