questions

1. Do the headlights just sit on the front bumper, or can we put them on so they follow the bonnet? ..like a nissan 350Z

2 Can we develop a car with a base cheap model, then have the same body, but apply bodykits, bigger engine, sporty exhaust and so on, this then making a sport version?

3. After we release the car and it starts selling, can we be affected by product recalls, warrenty repairs and so on?

4. How much interaction do we have with the dealerships? if the dealer doesnt sell very well compared to another, do we get to shut them down?

5. Can we develop a car, that has "proven technology" i mean that can we take good engines from other manufacturers to save money, and then when we become a leading car brand we can develop our own engines?

erm, think thats it for now.

3. That is something we would like to implement, and how you handle product recalls will effect your companies reputation.

4. Probably not an individual dealership management level. Ford has around 4000 dealerships in the US alone, managing that on a level of that single dealership is doing badly, close it down would be micromanagement hell.

5. As said above, we want to allow purchasing engines and such from other firms.
