One of our staffers got an email today from NNA asking who my 'source' is. My response:
1) Ask me. I'm not hard to find.
2) I don't throw confidential sources under the bus.
3) Stop shooting the messenger - Give me something positive to report.
4) Piss off.
Quoting to reiterate point #3.
They have a lot of history to draw inspiration from.
Fill a hole in the current market with something they used to do well.
Build a fast hot hatch (new GTIR)
Build a small, RWD, turbo something, with a manual box. (Retro-tech 510, new evolution of the 240SX)
Build a new Skyline, with a straight 6, cheap but tasteful interior, and make it light/fast, and handle well. Keep it simple and cheap, not bloated, fussy, and boring.
Just build something for consumers to get excited about (not executives, accountants, or shareholders.... actually the shareholders would get excited by booming sales because YOU ACTUALLY BUILT SOMETHING PEOPLE WANT TO BUY!)
