Required Questions

For this year, we are going to verify that the important “top 10” dealer penetration questions are
answered in each QAR. If these questions are not answered or the Research Partner
cannot answer them, Executive Interviewers will be asked to re-transmit the QAR as
inapplicable and will not eligible for compensation. To be considered a completed QAR
the questions below must be answered. The respondent must use at least two different
dealers for a single question.

These minimum requirements are not designed as a guideline for administering shortened
questionnaires and are only meant to ensure that we are getting the most critically important
information in each QAR. We hope that this will allow us to provide our clients with the highest
quality data possible.
