Q: So, welcome! How are you today?
A: Welcome, nice to meet you! Everything is great, thank you.
Q: So, since you're a CEO, new models.
A: Oh, yes. We have our Subaru BRZ/Scion FR-S fighter, the Esprimere. Lightweight and powerful, it should be extremely satisfying to drive.
Q: What else?
A: The Amethyst. An entry-level sedan that has the sportiness of a true thoroughbred sportscar.
Q: Big question; future plans. What are yours?
A: Well, at Rennen, we're making a so-called 'budget supercar.' It'll have our turbo 4 from the Monzon, but it'll be tuned to push out nearly 25 percent more power. We're also making a luxury SUV, and a wagon and coupe version of our Trident. But don't think for a moment we've gone soft; those will have to meet the same driving expectations as other cars.
Q: What's your idea of a 'good car?'
A: It must drive well. Steering feel, performance, handling, the lot. All of our cars must meet these expectations. A good gearbox, and also good safety is always key. Styling is also a factor. Remember the Fiat Multipla? Exactly.
Q: Who designs the cars, anyways?
A: Ahaha, I do! No, really. I'm the lead designer for the company. Fisker may not have pulled it off, but I know I can. I draw in my free time, not always cars, either.
Q: How about new engines?
A: Oh, we're producing an ultra-smooth Inline 6 that'll go into most of our luxury cars.
Q:You sound quite confident about your work.
A: You may be surprised about how I'm not.
Q: Well, thank you for having a nice talk with us!
A: My pleasure. Come back anytime!

Q: Hello. How are you?
A: I'm fine, thank you. Nice to meet you.
Q: So, before we start, anything we should know?
A: Well, not really. Rennen is a fairly open company, so I don't think you need to go overboard with anything.
Q: Alright, then, let's start. What are your plans for upcoming models?
A: Oh, we have many plans. There's an SUV that's codenamed "X-APV", or eXperimental-All Purpose Vehicle. It's a mouthful, but it's going to be on of the very few SUV's that combine sportiness, practicality, and real off-roading into one. We're nearly ready to unveil it.
Q: What else?
A: The Staccato is due for a refresh later this year. It'll have a smaller 4.5L V8, but make almost as much power while offering more fuel economy and more style, comfort, and sportiness.
Q: You're also revamping your small-car lineup, correct?
A: Yes. The Caelum, our most affordable offering, will become more luxurious, have more features, more power, and drive better than the old one. It will also be a little larger and run on a different body style. The Monzon, due to unpopular demand, will unfortunately be discontinued. To make up for it, the Excel will be offered as a AWD hot-hatch version with over 300 HP.
Q: We've also heard that you're unfortunately cancelling the plans for your small sports car, nicknamed "Esprimere". Why is that?
A: We're not cancelling it. Those are just rumours going around. We are, however, postponing the release date due to market.
Q: How come you've pulled the Amethyst from the market?
A: That, my friend, is a complicated topic. Let's just say... Something better is coming soon.
Q: What about any new engines or concepts?
A: We're researching Flatplane V8's, and seeing if maybe we could incorporate them into some of our cars. Right now, it's difficult to work with because of their tendency to be less smooth. We'll find a way around it. No concepts are planned, however.
Q: Well, it was a pleasure meeting with you.
A: No problem. Have a nice weekend!
