Did you guys get a JD Power survey for your IS?
Just wondering, because I got mine at the end of last week. The envelope includes a crisp new dollar bill - they pay you in advance, trying to guilt you into filling out the survey!
Anyway, I filled it out because obviously I am a big fan of this car, and wanted to give it good scores. The only things I gave it below average (less than 5 on scale of 1-10) marks for were front headroom, rear legroom, and rear/side visibility. I also gave it around an average score for "How distinctive the look of your car is." I think the car looks great, but there's no denying that it looks a bit like some other cars, ie Hyundai Sonata, Mazda 6, even Corolla from some angles...
But I gave really high marks for instrumentation, technology, safety, acceleration, quality of workmanship, interior style, and some others. And of course, I have had the car for 3+ months with 0 problems.

WHAT!?! There is only so much you can do with a sedan share. I think the new IS is one of the most distinctive shapes out there. The new Jetta looks like a Corolla - NOT the new IS. And the Sonata is an Accord, not an IS.

I posted this before, but I see similarities here:
And here:
But I don't want this to turn into a "cars that the IS looks like" thread, so let's start a new thread if we want to talk about that.

I'll check which one I got. It was really long - 8 full pages of SAT-style questions (fill in the circles, write in numbers, etc). There were questions on problems you've had (that part was easy!) as well as rating probably 150 different aspects of the car.
The IS looks like those two other cars because of its shape, not its color. Don't get me wrong, I love the car... I'm just saying it's not as distinctive as some other cars out there.

I have received a couple of surveys.
The last one was from Maritz and had a dollar.
The previous one may have been from Maritz as well.
I keep seeing questions on mobility features.
The Lexus magazine I received in the mail last week had a short piece on a customer with physical limitations who was able to drive an sc430.
