Part: 1 Bins
After I got very lazy and had piles of school, The City Council Members meet up at their long table after a month to talk about the vehicle submissions they have gotten from various vehicle companies some being bigger automotive manufacturers. But first, they must go through the vehicles that did not make it
1# - 2018 Mara Kavaler by @AndiD
The Council members open up the tab for the Mara and...stare..the super low fascia looks straight out of the early 00s, the design is bland and the power is pathetic for the size of the engine. One Council member points out the license plates which seems to be from an entirely different country to the United States
The council decides to bin the Mara for its odd and severely outdated looks and odd engineering choices. (You had something going in the trim engineering but I’d suggest practicing more, and good luck)
2# - 2020 Hakumai Furcio Taxi by @interior
After dealing with the Mara, the Council open another tab for the Hakumai and they are not very surprised by its otherwise bland and quite outdated looks. The addition of a bullbar worried them in the stiffness of the vehicle and the plastic trim pieces on the bumpers did not fit with the overall design of the Furcio. Next, they move to the vehicle's engineering which looks good until they reach the fuel economy, which is a bit under the limit, and while they would typically let it pass, due to the tougher fuel economy laws they could not let it slide
The City Council decides to bin the Hakumai for its odd design and safety choices, and for being under the MPG limit.
3# - 2020 Centurion Chariot by @Jaimz
After closing the Hakumai's tab, one of the Council members stops before opening the next. They had gotten excited to see the Centurion name as it is the name of another more popular French automaker but as they opened the tab they were quickly disappointed by a very empty front fascia and an incorrect coloring scheme. The number of outdated designs they were getting sent and the fact that there was another company using the Centurion name was quite worrying to the City Council, but alas they move to the engineering where they are quickly stopped by the puny inline 3 and a..performance intake?
The Council quickly bins the Chariot for its odd design and its strange engineering choices that go outside of their rules
4# - 2020 Kazuki Kitaze GUV by @SyberRacer
The Council opens a new tab and for the first time they finally had a vehicle that looked the part. The nice modern sleek design of the front end fitted with the sporty rear caught the eyes of the Council members and they were about to pass it until they remembered to look at the engineering for the Kitaze. The 1.9L I4 brought good power for a vehicle of its size and all was well until the MPG ratings came up, and to the disappointment and sadness of the Council Members, it has been under the recommended limit at 27.
The City Council sadly bin the Kitaze for being under the mpg limit and some odd springs and swaybar choices.
5# - 2019 Lumboxo Meerkat PHEV - by @TheYugo45GV
The Council next moves onto the Lumboxo a bit of an odd estate wagon. The first (and only) PHEV that they were sent with..a V6? They brush it off and continue onto the looks, and they aren't too surprised. The designing does have some competence but it still looks very out of place for its production year, and seems quite dull. Moving onto the engineering, the all steal materials disgust some of the more engineery members and the addition of double wishbone odds out some of the members. Moving onto the engine, the lack of turbo (which would help make it act more like a hybrid for the future) and it seems to tank the MPGe quite a bit, but they look past it. Another strange thing they find is this excessive lowered quality, it isn't lowered by a lot but in terms of the lowered quality safety and breaks adds a safety concern into the mix.
The Council decides to bin the Meerkat for its outdated design and strange engineering choices that do not fit in what it is trying to accomplish.
6# - 2021 Munot 45A Drache - by @Quneitra
After a long day of deciding and reviewing, the council finishes off with the Munot another outdated looking vehicle but with slight competence. A lot of it just felt like it was slapped onto there in 10 minutes with no thoughts of linework and time period accuracy, and also s m o l m i r r o r s. While the engineering was not all bad, the unusually thick tires weren't catching the eyes of the Council members
And while the Council Members were getting ready to clock out, they decided to bin the Munot for multiple design law violations and odd engineering choices. (thicc tires)
