Re: AHMC / ATDS data collection

Received my letter recently and called to do the questionnaire. To my disappointment its only for Southern California residents. Honda really loves Cali.

If Honda is only doing Southern Cal, then they are really missing the boat. SoCal has nice, sunny weather year round. How do batteries perform in winter? What about the desert? Mountains? Why even bother sending letters to people who aren't in your target area, for that matter?

I got that letter around Nov 4. Two days later I called up the testing company to make the arrangements, and I was also told Honda is cancelling the program except in Southern California. I live in PA. So I guess the tumbling economy put and end to the large scale testing.
