:cry:

I think I may have overdone the venting on the front.

Yay, my bin is delayed by a round!

Lawrence’s view: “I’m getting increasingly exasperated with these lacklustre designs I’ve been offered. This proposal appears to be offering the same dull design I’ve seen on countless modern luxury vehicles. By no means is it offensive, but I have seen far superior offerings so far. Performance seems to be no better than adequate, there really isn’t anything attracting me to this.”
Cassandra’s view: “Adorable shade of black and… yes it does seem rather mundane.”
Lawrence sets the brochure aside for destruction later on.

Aww, she likes the black. He doesn’t like the car. Jokes on him, the brochure is gunpowder, as is the British way. Hopefully Cassandra’s far enough away from it. Or not. She called it mundane. It’s obviously a cheap Audi but with the engine the proper way round. I was going for Bentley / Audi, guess it’s not working. I’m disappointed, but I understand where the thoughts are coming from. Should’ve gone full Bentley and given him the two door.

Well, my entry didn’t get his intention enough. Even the performance can’t outshine the conversative styling.
Congrats to those who passed, those are reallly lookers as well.

That is except one… the Honghu 88888888. Lawrence decided that it would be rather amusing to see what the Chinese dictator car would really be like, but he didn’t have high hopes.

I ACTUALLY MADE IT LOL

Wouldn’t be too surprised to get binned in the next round but hey the shitpost made it thru :blush:

Nope, that was something I messed up at my end. It was supposed to be a car for later consideration only for him to turn it down. Admittedly it was towards the top of that pile but only the Honghu 8(x8) made it through. I’ve edited the review to reflect this, apologies about the false hope!


I will have the test drives sorted for around 18-ish hours time (I must sleep), with the results shortly afterwards. This is going to be a very tough one to call!

Nice, I got through! But I honestly wasn’t expecting performance to be that much of a consideration, it wasn’t even mentioned in the criteria. Lucky I put in that 0-100 sentence then lol

Exactly what I had been expecting. But with a powerful V8 under its hood, it’s not entirely without merit. Even so, first impressions count, and mine wasn’t the right one for the client. Anyway, Lawrence will have his work cut out for him deciding between the finalists…

Keystone would like to apologize for the “meh”. :stuck_out_tongue:

No worries man! As i am a good loser, i do accept that the Honghu looks more interesting than my car. And the fact that i screwed up so badly with my ad with the “Severe Understeering” thing.

Anyways, Congrats to everyone who passed into the next round! :slightly_smiling_face:

DDDAAAAAMMMMNNNNN harsh

Glad I made it to the next round. Great work!

Well, I guess this is why no one else dared to field a pick-up truck. IIt wasn’t lack of consideration on the creators’ part, more like the possible owners’. Lesson duly noted. At least the gardener will have a nice luxury pickup to match!
Perhaps I should’ve just plonked the engine into a shooting brake body instead…

That aside, I did have a laugh at the couple’s speech. Exactly like I thought they would speak. People who aren’t mere leaders of the totem pole, but leaders and makers of their own… :money_with_wings:

Ah bugger… I guess that’s what happens when you bring a decadent 2200kg socialist RS6 mobile chalet to a sleek European grand tourer fight…

aside from the slightly disparaging comparisons to Barry Humphries, fighting through to the test drive is a welcome development for my car

Another CSR instabinned, thrown into the fire! oh boy what a streak of unlucky entries!

Boy do I really suck at this kind of challenges…

I’m kinda annoyed. I actually put some real thought into this CSR build!!!

To me the design looks rather basic and a bit disproportioned, with trims not following the line of the body, old fashioned mirrors and door handles.

It’s a bunch of mistakes that everyone makes when just starting, but being annoyed won’t help you to improve.

There’s a difference between plain bad and not on par with the average other submission.
