the 2017 Argus.


The smart choice for the suave, professional person.

200 horsepower to carry you anywhere you’d wish to go (200hp, 250Nm. 237kph top speed. 0-100 in 7.5 seconds).
AWD to make sure you get there (43F/57R, Viscous LSD).
A premium interior experience with a silky smooth turbocharged inline six cylinder to make sure you never get tired on the way (2747cc turbo I6). Two sunroofs.
Highly advanced technology to ensure the car is never hard on your wallet (42mpg)
Cutting edge safety technology with all the driver aids so you’re never in harm’s way (advanced safety).
Reliable.
Sharp looks.
Easy to drive.
Highly practical.

All this for just $23,700.

The Argus.


Yes I absolutely could not be fucked to finish the Photoshops on this. Yes, the design is a combination of the Aston Martin Lagonda Taraf and the Volvo S90 with my own touch. It’s likely this car will become a canon Cavallera model with a redesign because the setup is not too bad. Everything except the actual setup of the car itself is half-assed.

ST-Z trim shown in optional Crimson Sprint Metallic


The Prova is an exceptional compact car that’s now even better with a bold new design and packed with the latest innovations while retaining a spirited and engaging driving performance that will give you satisfaction every day.

The updates see new powertrains and we are introducing our first seven-speed double-clutch transmission with the Prova, combining the benefits of automated and manual transmissions.

Which provide even greater fuel efficiency and lower C02 emissions while improving performance over naturally aspirated engines of the outgoing models.

The new design embodies the latest evolution of our Vitality Motion design language. The Xz Prova saloon comes with a new ActivBoost 1.4L in-line 4 cylinder 16 valve DOHC petrol MC-BN13Bv engine producing 120 Kw (161 hp) and 180 Nm (133 ft lbs).

Don’t worry, I am working on the results. Just, well, very slowly. Okay, fine, I’m procrastinating a little bit because I’m trying not to risk burning myself out, so I’m trying a new tactic, which is to do a few reviews and then do something else that isn’t Automation or review related.

As for where I’m at, I’ve got everyone’s initial blurbs out of the way, made the first cuts, and I’m halfway-ish through dealership visits and test drives. After that will be second cuts, short reviews of the third and second place cars, and the review of the winning car.

This is just me giving everyone a heads-up on what’s going on, and why it’s taking longer with the end of this challenge compared to Hybrid Beaters League.

The simple answer is, HBL was done with review-as-arrived, similar to my CSR round. This meant all the cars got a nearly-identical review and I spent a lot of my time trying not to sound like I’d just made a generic template to fill in cars.

Here, I’m reviewing after the fact, so that I can give shorter reviews overall, though give them a little more variety. Some could say it’s just poor planning on my part, but I’d counter that I planned it this way.

However, I promise, you’ll have your results before the end of the week.
