Alright... here are the bulk of the results. Reviews for the winners will be out in the next day or two.
Entry Level
6th - City.com - 4TV14-SMR - Design Score 88.0 - "Entry level. If you're a doctor or a lawyer buying a car for their kid."
5th - Bogliq Mouse GLi 4TV14-SMR - Design Score 94.8 - "Don't sneeze, you'll end up on the other side of the highway."
4th - Bell TLD 1.7E - 4TV17-SMR - Design Score 115.15 - "Decent compromise all around. Except for compromising quality, of course."
3rd - Solo Toledo Beaver BM - 4TV14-SMR - Design Score 121.775 - "Possibly the cushiest in the class. Just don't expect to take your luggage with you."
2nd - Erin Merna S 1.4 Concept - 4TV14-SMR - Design Score 121.925 - "A little more reliability and a little more economy would probably put this at the top."
Upscale
2nd - Rado Communt Luxury - 4TV14-SMR - Design Score 10.125 (No, that's not a typo) - "Lego Batman wants to know what the heck this is."
Ute
3rd - Bell Snowdon - 6T29-SMF - Design Score 113.125 - "Add the optional Jerry can mount. You'll need the extra fuel."
2nd - Solo Toledo Yeti 4x4 - 4TV19-SMF - Design Score 114.65 - "Having such great fuel economy is needed with such a small bed."
Sporty
4th - Bogliq Fox - 4TV19-SMR - Design Score 80.6 - "Best in class fuel economy + worst in class safety = BIG FIREBALL!"
3rd - Coolback Sport - 6T33-SMF - Design Score 84.9 - "Drown yourself in the luxurious interior. It's the only way to cope with the fact that the Bogliq is WAY faster."
2nd - Rado NX V6-S - 6T33-SMF - Design Score 96.9 - "A little more safety might make it top of the class."
Interesting to note: Every flavor of the Toledo Trivalve was used at least once, with the 1.4L variety being the most popular choice overall. None of the carbureted V6's were used. (For those who didn't download the files, the FI system on the V6's had negative quality to reflect a hasty adaptation of the 4 cylinder motor's system to the 6 cylinder system. Guess it wasn't a big enough penalty to deter use.)
