Is this a new car maker?

Doing a survey and I have to rate a series of cars against various criteria.

On the list is Prosche. Is there a new car maker on the block or did they forget to spell check when they did the survey?

I am tired of sloppy surveys. Misspelling, age range that does not include X years plus, jobs that do not include a none of the above answer

Would not mind but the people behind these surveys are well paid. They are not paying peanuts and getting monkeys doing the job

Yes, I do find it quite amazing that proof-reading seems to be a lost art. But of greater annoyance are the poor survey designs.... particularly when they ask a question and then ask subsequent questions that seem to ignore the previous answer, e.g. "Are you working?" ... no, followed by "How do you travel to work?" with a choice of transport but no get-out!!

Hey ho, it's their problem. garbage design, garbage in, garbage out.

Do you have a random comment generator?

No, but I'm working on making both a website and app to do just that.
