Unfinished Business

From the previous meeting, we still need to solidfy our budget for this new model and the price range in which we want to offer the vehicle.
We still need to conduct research on the market and on our competitors for the price range that we are aiming for.
Have Matthew talk to his team about going through the research.
Have Dante talk to his team about our budget and make sure he coordinates with Domenic to make sure we can sell the vehicle at our target price range and be profitable.

New Business

Our target audience is middle-upper income adults who are car enthusiasts and enjoy the raw feeling of driving a motorvehicle.
Our goal is to tone back on all the new technology as much as possible to offer that raw driving experience, while still meeting today's standards of comfort and ease of use.
This will be a 2-door coupe that allows for the small and fun flickable feel of a lightweight car with the ability to use as a daily comfortably.
A total of four people will fit in the car including the driver.
We will be using a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder to power the car that will give it the nice and smooth powerband that NA vehicles are known for, while not being too heavy to throw the balance off of the car.
If need be, we can make the vehicle limited edition but for now, lets try to keep it as a regular manufactured car.

Comments/Questions/Concerns Where will we be sourcing the motor from? Will we be developing our own?
If we do develop the motor ourselves, how much more do we need to expand the budget?
Will we be offering automatic and manual options or strictly manual? How will this affect our target audience?
