Not really. Here's the scoop. Edmunds.com on occassion needs to find persons that are willing to speak to the press about the car buying, owning, selling experiences. The idea is for you to share you abbreviated stories, and you may be asked to speak to the press. It could be newstory, a radio interview, etc.
 
Hope that clarifies.

When I'm in the market for a new car, I spend some time doing research. The four major sources I use for research are:
 
1. Consumer's Reports They have the most comprehensive reliability data of anyone.
 
2. Edmunds.com At their site, a wealth of information is available for new car shoppers. And, don't let me forget, used car shoppers too. I buy new so I go to their:
 
   A. New Vehicles section. (dealers prices and everything!)
 
   B. Their car reviews. (all well authored)
 
   C. The features like "How to negotiate.."
 
   D. A great place called "Town Hall"
 
 Also I like Edmunds automotive related advertising. It's not overdone like some vehicle related sites on the internet.
 
3. My friends and acquaintenances are valuable sources too.
 
4. The last place to go is to the Lot and get your "hands on demonstration" : ^ )
 
   I've had great results over the past few years with my new vehicle purchases. And I've been very successful selling my used ones. I owe it all to the excellent resources that I have outlined above.
 
   I urge you to do your homework before buying. If you don't follow my recipe, then please develope your own plan.
 
Sincerely,
Fivespeed
(future Mercedes owner)
 
ps - The Edmunds Town Hall feature has Sports Car topics, Repair topics, Truck topics, and News topics (among a few)that will interest all persons regardless if they are in the market for a car or not.

Good example of a potential story re: how today's shoppers go about looking for information. Once again, to clarify there isn't a topic on hand here; rather, we are looking for folks who would like to speak to the press about all things automotive from the consumer's perspective. Please ask questions so I can assist. Thanks.

Does anyone here have experience researching or buying a small sports sedan (ex: BMW 3 series, Audi A4, Mercedes C class, Volvo S60, Lexus IS 300, Acura TL)? Especially...if you traded from an SUV or bigger car, we have a journalist wanting to talk to you...10 of you as a matter of fact
 
If you are interested, please email me:
