It is twelve minutes until the convention starts. People are waiting outside the convention center with their tickets. A judge announces to the whole convention centre that it is almost time for opening. All of the car manufacturers are preparing to open their booths, to show their future cars to the Letarans. In an empty assembly hall, a group of judges are finishing up evaluating the concepts, while some workers set up for the award ceremony in a few hours. Here is what the judges say about the cars:
Mara Kavaler
@AndiD
The car at the top of the list was the Mara Kavaler; A rather generic car with nothing too special about it. The most interesting thing about it was its rather large 5.0L V8, which caused it to be the most polluting car and the least fuel effecient car. What did surprise the judges was that it was the most comfortable car, with it rivaling some of the cars in the R-Class! Not only that, but it was close to being the most safest car in its class.
Canmo Kestrel Sprint
@crwpitman1
The Canmo Kestrel sprint was the second car on this list and it was quite the polar opposite of the previous car. It has a rather “out-there” design and it featured a 2.2L I4, making it almost the most effecient and economical car, but suffered due to it’s low safety. Everything else about the car was average, except for the price and service costs, which was 15,000 AMU and almost 1,000, making it the most expensive car in this class and almost the most expensive car to maintain.
Primus Astrona
@Happyhungryhippo
Next up is the Primus Astrona. Another average car with nothing too crazy and it has all around pretty good stats, except for a lower reliability compared to other manufactures, but it was still high. It was the safest car presented at the convention despite the outdated safety system, and was rather easy to drive.
Vaughn Firebolt
@Knugcab
The Vaughn Firebolt another simple yet good car, except for it being the hardest car to drive. Despite this, it was still considered rather safe. It had low servicing cost and purchasing cost, making it a rather cheap car to buy and own. Additionally, the emissions and reliability were both well, making it a rather good car to own, as long as you ignore the fuel economy.
Planar Genoace
@lotto77
The Planar Genoace was an all around ok car. It wasn’t the best car presented, but it wasn’t the worst. It really didn’t have any stats that stood out; everything was either above or below average, except for its horribly low comfort. Besides that, the judges didn’t see anything too interesting in the car and moved on the next car.
The Knightwick
@mart1n2005
The Knightwick was probably one of the best cars presented at the show. It was the cheapest, most reliable, almost the most econimical, and easiest car to drive. The only downside was its horrible comfort due to it lacking any form of entertainment, which was a rather odd choice for a concept car, but some sacrifices have to made. If some form of entertainment was included, it would probably be the perfect car.
SAETA SEV
@Petakabras
The final car was the SAETA SEV, a car focusing on being the most economical car, which it was, with achieving a fuel economy of 6.8L/100km. In addition, it was the least polluting car in its class. Unfortunatley, it had a high price and the highest service cost compared to other cars which weighed it down.
After a little bit of conversing, the judges come to a final decision, and start to prepare themselves for the award ceremony.
Final Results
THE RESULTS
4:00 PM
The people at the convention start to crowd in and grab a seat before the judges announce who will win the best regular car award. The room goes silent as the judges announces the rankings:
6th: Canmo Kestrel Sprint (@crwpitman1)
5th: Planar Genoace (@lotto77)
4th: SAETA SEV (@Petakabras)
Tied for 3rd: Vaughn Firebolt and Mara Kavaler (@Knugcab & @AndiD, respectivley)
2nd: Primus Astrona (@Happyhungryhippo)
1st: The Knightwick (@mart1n2005)
Those of you with the ability of sight and literacy can see that there is a tie in 3rd place. Because of this, instead of 3 cars going to the Best of the Year category, I have decided to send 4 cars instead. Good luck to the people those people and the people in the next round.
