Dear all,

We are currently studying Transport Design at The University of Huddersfield and have just begun a project focusing on designing a future car for the ‘Executive’ sector of Mercedes Benz.

As a result we are hoping to find out more about the potential owners of our concept in order to help us to design something appropriate. Subsequently, we have compiled a short questionnaire which we would be very grateful if you could find a few moments to complete for us.

Please answer as many questions as you can, but don’t worry if you can’t answer all of them.

Post your replies as a private message or as a standard reply as you wish.

Thank you in advance
Peter, Steven, Colin & Stephen

Just in case any of you have trouble with the JPEG, here are the questions in standard text. Thanks again.

Mercedes Questionnaire

As part of our final unit we need to evaluate the brand and buyer profile of Mercedes owners. We would be very grateful if anyone could give some feedback by answering as many of the following questions as is comfortable.



Gender?

Age?

Ethnic Origin?

Which model of Mercedes do you own?

Did you buy it from new?

Why did you buy the Mercedes?

What aspects attracted you to the Mercedes brand?

Which of these aspects is most important?

Which other brands do you prefer? (Non car brands)

Where do you shop on a weekly basis?

What type and brand of television do you own?

Do you have a favourite fashion label?



Thank, you we appreciate your participation.

it would apprear you do not have the facility to receive PM's nor emails on this account at the moment. Check your user CP settings or it may be that you have to be member for a while before you can receive them :?:

I think the response is quite easy.

Design something that wont be built like crap and doesn't breakdown all the time.....oh and paint that stays on would be nice too. In other words, something that isn't a Mercedes.

Make an online form. Nobody is going to bother printing this out, filling it in, and sending it off.

Thanks for the advice. We don't mind if people just post the answers as an email or on the forum without the questions next to them. No need to print it off.

Any format of answers is excellent as it helps us greatly!!

Regards, Peter

You may not quite have the target audience your looking for on this forum, unless it is a future second hand executive car you are designing :cool:

don't let Hibbo see that reply......you'll be in trouble for your use of you're.

I think you must've made an incorrect correction BC! :p

"You may not quite have the target audience you are looking for."


As for a future Merc, design one that I can buy for buttons in 24 years' time and still run everyday! :D (As can every taxi driver in Cyprus!)
