I reported earlier in a general thread that I had received a written JD Powers survey for the Clarity (sorry, didn't keep a copy). Now we got an online invitation to a MUCH more detailed survey. It covered every aspect, inside and out, on every component of the Clarity. I replied specific to my car, but in all general questions tried to pass along observations and problems discussed here.
The real reason I wanted to open this thread is to see if others have received this survey, and test my one major take-away; it was like I was being asked for guidance on V2 of the Clarity. There were a lot of styling and usability questions, but even more focused were a large number of visual questions with front, back, and profile pictures of sedan designs, none of which look like our current Clarity. All were more subdued (less angular body lines), lower rear profile, more downward swoop in the rear roof line - a lot like modern Mercedes/BMW/Lexus four door sedan designs and NONE had high trunks or wheel skirts. Interestingly, NONE were hatchback designs.
