With Carter's announcement one by one, the models that entered the shortlist under each category also came out, because the car was divided into ten categories according to different standards, according to the principle of average, under each category of models, there should be five models shortlisted for the shortlist at the same time, but because of subjective factors and different types of models under each category, such as medium and large sedans, the most models under this category, so at this time, among the shortlists, medium and large sedans are also the most selected.

In the list, the most conspicuous is the two sedans of Tianming Automobile Company, Phoenix sedan and Kirin sedan, both shortlisted in the list of compact cars and medium and large sedans, and they are also the only two shortlisted models in China.

"Okay, now you see that there are 50 models that have entered the shortlist in this selection, let's take a look, if there are any disagreements, we can make final discussions and changes. After reading the entire shortlist, Carter glanced at the list in his hand and said to the crowd.

Every member of the jury sitting below couldn't help but look at the whiteboard in front of them, and everyone showed a different look and began to whisper.

"This shortlist turned out to be exactly the same as the one I chose!"

"The Audi 80 is still on the list, and in my opinion, there is no car in the same class that can compare with the Audi 80!"

"It's really an unprecedented phenomenon, China has a model on the list this time, and there are two models at once, and they are still from the same company. ”

"I don't think it's surprising that these two cars of Tianming Automobile Company can be on the list, let me ask, in the second half of this year, several car manufacturers in Europe and the United States, which one is not messed up by these two cars?"

…………

While the rest of the people whispered, Carter and Ribery couldn't help but look at the list on the whiteboard, to be honest, this shortlist was somewhat within their expectations, after all, they had participated in so many annual model selections, and their ability to grasp the model was still very strong.

"Is there any difference from the shortlist you had in mind?" asked Carter in a whisper as he looked at the whiteboard.

"It's not that big of a difference. Ribery smiled and shook his head, "You should have voted for these two cars from China, right?"

"You're talking about the Phoenix and the Kirin! That's natural, and I think if I had to pick one car that represents the entire automotive industry in the 80s, I'd definitely choose one of these two!" said Carter, whose eyes burned with burning eyes.

Although Catery, as an American, should be resentful of the existing pattern of the Tianming Automobile Company for "disrupting" the American automobile market, from the perspective of a pure car enthusiast, Carter really loves these two sedans of the Tianming Automobile Company.

Whether it is the Phoenix brand car, or the later release of the Kirin car, in Carter's view, it can definitely represent the development trend of an era, because from the beginning of the Phoenix brand car, the whole world's automobile design trend has undergone a complete change, the original square design in the intervention of safety regulations, gradually withdrew from the historical stage, and such a mellow design as the Phoenix brand car, has become the mainstream design of the international automobile industry.

It can be said that the two sedans launched by Tianming Automobile Company ended an old era and opened a new era!

From this alone, Carter thinks that these two cars can be directly on the final annual model list without even going through any performance tests and questionnaires!

Of course, even if he goes through the normal review process, Carter still believes that with the actual performance of these two cars, they will definitely be selected for the final list.

Ribery nodded approvingly, "Indeed, these two cars do represent the arrival of an era, especially the Kirin sedan, the power configuration of the rotary engine is absolutely unprecedented, and the first time to participate in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, you can win the title of overall champion, which adds a lot of legend to this car." ”

Not to mention that both cars were on the shortlist at the same time, even in the final list, two cars were selected at the same time, and Ribery would not feel any surprise, because this in itself is a reasonable thing.

"We really feel envious that such a young man can emerge in China's automobile industry! If this trend continues, it won't be long before our two countries will be compared. Carter suddenly remembered Zhou Jingming, the chief designer of these two cars, and couldn't help but sigh.

"You're talking about Zhou Jingming, it really has to be envied, during this period of time the international automotive industry spread the boiling 16949 system, but also this young man proposed, China is now not only in technology to catch up with us, in the system construction, but also in the overall catch-up, really want to go on like this, the next international automobile production base, must be China undoubtedly. Ribery said the same.

While the two were discussing, the rest of the jury members also put forward their own opinions on this shortlist.

"Isn't the shortlist of mid- and large-sized sedans a bit too much, and I recommend swapping one or two of them for compact cars. One of the jurors proposed.

"But which car to replace, wouldn't it be fair to swap it out at will?" was soon retorted.

"Why don't you replace the Kirin sedan, I think it's okay for this car to be on the shortlist with the Phoenix brand sedan, and if it is selected at the same time, the reason for the selection is suspected of being duplicated. The jury member who made the comment continued.

"Where is the suspicion of duplication of the reasons for selection?" Ribery couldn't help but ask, not to mention anything else, judging from the number of votes alone, there is no reason to cancel the Kirin sedan from the shortlist!

"The Phoenix sedan and the Kirin sedan were selected at the same time, isn't it because of their contribution to the body styling design? Although the two cars belong to different categories, but they are both selected for such reasons, I think it is far-fetched, we can consider deleting the Kirin sedan from the category of medium and large sedans, and then adding one under the category of compact cars. ”

"If you want to say that the Phoenix car is removed from the shortlist, I can still understand, but the Kirin car, it must not be removed, in a sense, this car for the development of the automobile industry, more than the Phoenix car, I do not agree to replace this car, even if all the models are replaced, can not replace the Kirin car. Ribery said toughly.

For a while, the atmosphere in the whole room suddenly became tense, because the Phoenix brand and the Kirin sedan, the two cars, the jury was actually caught in a debate.
