    WOMEN AND TRUCKS One of our journalists is writing an article about women and trucks: why they love their trucks, the decisions that they have to make when purchasing a truck versus a car, and whether or not they’ve encountered discrimination or bias when buying or driving a truck. If you’d like to share your story, please respond to jhelperin@edmunds by Sunday, March 26th. Thanks!

    A reporter with a national newspaper would like to speak with current SUV owners who previously owned a more fuel efficient car. Did they buy the SUV several years ago when SUV gas mileage wasn’t a big concern? With the high gas prices now, are they rethinking their SUV ownership? Are they considering trading in or selling their SUV for a more fuel efficient vehicle? If you fit what the reporter is looking for, please email Kirsten Holguin at kholguin@edmunds.com by May 27, 2005.

Did you choose your car to match your wardrobe or personal sense of style? The reporter writes, "I'm probably looking for people who are on the waiting list for a Solstice, or choose a Mazda 3 over the Honda Civic for fashion reasons, or picked an Infiniti over a Lexus because of Infiniti's superior design. Or a mom who drives a Mustang, even though it's a tight squeeze for her kids in the backseat."

    I am a journalist for a national magazine writing a story on how consumers are reacting to the recent spike in gasoline prices. Has anyone decided to downsize their personal vehicle to get better fuel economy? Moving from an sport utility vehicle to a car, or at least to a smaller suv? Or even from a large car to a smaller one? We’d like to hear your story and get your feedback on today’s gasoline prices. Please email me your contact information to carguy147@hotmail.com no later than Wednesday, September 7, 2005. You must be willing to be interviewed by telephone and quoted in the magazine.

    Thanks,
