Executive Motors EX-I Performance Luxury Vehicle

This ultra-performance-luxury vehicle has a long hood for its powerful engine and a posh interior for riding in the lap of luxury. Built for the person who wants a car that’s both fun to drive and nice to be driven in, the experience in the driver's seat and the passenger's seat varies greatly. Power and speed is the name of the game for the driver; however, the passenger can lie down, slide into the back space where another pair of seats could have been fit, and feel like he is being chauffeured as he works with the car's on-board Smart Computer. Sold all-inclusively, the vehicle has numerous customizable options easily controlled with the computer.

This all ultra-special vehicle is popular among the rich and famous of the Dominion. Only one thousand [1000] vehicles are being sold internationally.

Looks like we got a super lux war on our hands...

Okay, now I'm waiting for the detailers to come in and tell me what DMG forgot, cause I sure can't see anything left out. But then again what do I know, my mind is still boggling over the list of goodies-

Though I have to admit the Maybach Exelero is a lovely hunk of car that I'd give eye teeth to be behind the wheel of

DMG's Executive Motors EX-1 Performance Luxury Vehicle sounds awesome and if it measures up I know who'll be purchasing a few.

Official communication from the Tanaaran Automobile Registry to Executive Motors. Please be advised that we are requesting that you consider reserving two hundred and fifty of the one thousand EX-1's you will be selling internationally, for duty free import to Tanaara.

[OOC: I assume the first bit is OOC, lol. I don't really know what I am doing. I felt inspired so I did a few hours of research and wrote this thing up. That being said, I know very little about performance details, so I could have done a few calculations or measurements wrong - I'm open to correcting on those.]

Sales Department
While we are grateful and excited that you are interested in our new vehicle, we are hesitant to reserve such a large number for one buyer. They are a limited edition - especially internationally - and selling twenty-five percent of the stock to one buyer could be slightly problematic. However, it all depends on how much interest and the size of the orders we receive. If we can facilitate all purchases including two-hundred fifty vehicles to Tanaara, we will do so.

For the moment, we will conditionally reserve such an amount for at least consideration of selling all to your nation.

[OOC: If anyone wants to write a review or some other kind of IC post, that would be completely fine/awesome.]

Audio descriptive transcript from the latest edition of Racing Drift, SCB:Motors' (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Starblaydi_Combined_Broadcasting) Top-rated flagship show.

"Five million Dollars.

"There's a lot you can do with five million dollars. Buy a yacht, rent and fuel a private plane for a year, put five million on black. Whatever you like. But we reckon we've just found a better way to get rid of a five and six following zeros in your Capitalizt States' bank account.

"Buy an EX-1.

"Never mind that they're only producing one thousand of them for sale outside of Executive Motor's home country. These things are seriously posh. It's an 8.4 litre smooth, suave, behemoth of a car with more features than a year's worth of cinema tickets. But first, lets get the technical bit out of the way. Here's the science, so concentrate.

"The huge engine, which resides beneath the elongated bonnet, kicks out over a thousand horsepower to reach speeds, officially, of around two hundred and twenty-six miles per hour. The science boffins, however, reckon this could reach two-fifty without too much trouble. Ouch.

"There are more cameras on this thing than in the Big Brother house, and browsing through the list of safety devices is acronym-city. ABS, TCS, EBA, DSR, CBC, DBC, ECS... no wonder this car is produced by a company based in DMG.

"That's the techincal stuff over, honest. Now to the party piece. As a passenger, you get bored, right? Just... looking out of the front or side windows as the driver fumbles for the radio tuner while keeping their eyes, hopefully, on the road. What the EX-1 lets you do is... face the other way. You can even slide the seat back into a little office-like area in the back, and be chauffeured to your destination in complete comfort. It even turns into a bed! Brilliant!

"There's enough computer equipment in here to make a geek drool, more speakers than a nightclub and you can even set the in-car lighting to make the roof look like a starfield. Mmm, romantic. And you can even charge your phone, branded Mp3 player and any other mobile device - in-car!

"So it's an office on wheels, I hear you cry. And, to be honest, they're fairly ugly wheels - bar the price that's the one thing I really don't like about the car: the golf-buggy alloys. When you put your foot down, however, everything just becomes a blur.

"Woah! I promised you no more tech bits, so let's just say this has enough torque to slam your brain into the back of your head! The engine sound is incredible, a symphony of cylinders beneath this obsidian sea stretched out in front of me. Until, that is, you press this button.

"And that, ladies and gentlemen, is the sound of silence. Some fancy noise-canceling technology that makes the windows vibrate, or something, to make the only noise in here be the sound of whoever's snoring beside you.

"It looks brilliantly evil, bar the golf buggy wheels, and if you don't like the colour - change it! Give them a colour and they'll match it. Fairly nifty if you always wanted a day-glow pink car to be chauffeured around in. And for five million dollars? Well, they say the government is after a few. If the dictator of Starblaydia is in the market, you can't go far wrong by getting one yourself. Five million dollars, though... but worth it all for the exclusivity and comfort."

Dear Sir,
We are happy to accept your order for eight of our newly released EX-1 vehicle and are pleased to know that your nation's leader wishes to acquire them for her collection and the use of her Inner Council members. Your custom options will be integrated into the car as per request.

Construction on all eight vehicles will begin immediately at our central factory. Each automobile's production will be overseen by a member of our Services Department to insure all proper quality and care is given. Upon receiving the funds from your government (as indicated), we will send ownership papers and the vehicle's manual (in audio-video and paper), so that the driver's may get a head-start on learning all of its features.

As for transportation, as a premium car company attempting to sell internationally, we would be remiss if we did not provide this service free of charge. All eight vehicles - scheduled to be completed at the same time - will be shipped on the WCD World-14 transit ship and arrive at indicated port city.

[OOC: Nice review write-up, thanks for it.]

From the Desk of Daniel Dinwiddie,
Undersecretary of Procurement,
Tanaaran Automobile Registry

Sales Department of Executive Motors -

Please accept my humble apology. I misunderstood some instructions that I recieved second hand. I now have a competent secretary ( but that is of no matter )

I have been authorized by the House of Peers and the Crown to directly purchase two hundred and fifty of your marvelous EX-1. These will become the Official Vehicles for the Lords and Ladies of the House of Peers. The Peers have voted to recieve, from the Tanaaran government, one each of these fine vehicles, in recognition of their long service and devotion to the good of the Tanaarna citizens.

I am authorized to transfer 1,250,000,000 aurics ( 2,312,500,000 USD ) at this time if this is acceptable. Or I am also allowed to offer the corporation a space station / high orbital habitat in the LaGrange position above DMG. I am given to understand that we have several, fully constructed but never used ( ie mothballed but with all power and life support generation systems and liscensed sentient A.I. stations manager ) ready for aquisition by approved groups. The Crown has informed me that DMG's government is one of thsoe on the approved list - perhaps a trade could be worked out?

Sincerely,

Dan

Subject: EX-1 Purchase

Dear Sir,

It seems to be my new international sales team is still working out the kinks in their communication skills. I regret your secretary was fired though, as it was my end's fault mostly. What they meant to communicate was that because the XE-1 is limited international sale to one thousand units, a sale of one quarter of that total to a single nation was cause for some concern. We were hoping to allow as many nations as possible to buy a few vehicles, and thus wished to keep sales to the small end.

However, that is all water under the bridge. Your most recent communication has rectified the situation. I have spoken to a representative of the Ministry - a close personal friend in fact - who has confirmed that the government is willing to accept one of the described space stations (regrettably I nothing of the matter, so any details to be worked out should be routed through the Secretary of State's office). In return, they will pay the full price of the two hundred fifty XE-1s. Better yet, though, because it is technically the government who is buying the vehicles and then redistributing them without cost to your nation, I will be waiving them in the count for international sales.

May I further state how elated I am to here that the Lords and Ladies of the House of Peers have voted to each personally take one. I apologize once more for the inconvenience of previous communication errors. With production facilities capable of turning out ten a month, it will take roughly two years for the final delivery. All two hundred vehicles - in units of ten - will be shipped on the WCD World-17 transit ship and arrive at indicated port city (each month). I hope your officials enjoy our vehicles.

Best Wishes,

Dear Mr. Vitleza

Please don't concern yourself over my ex secretary, she is now the personal secretary on one of the Peers. but...

You have to thank the Honourable Miss Melissa Lochshire, the youngest daughter of Lady Lochsire, who is one of the most redoubtable member of the House of Peers. When 'Melly' showed the announcement from your company to her mother over breakfast, her mother immediately brought the information before the other Peers. The vote was a rout, only three members abstaining and no nay votes ( Quite the noteable vote I assure you ). I understand that 'Melly' is getting the pony she wanted as her reward.

Ten a month is fine, it will make the more senior peers happy to have their's before the newer Peers can have one.

The Tanaaran Minister of State will be contacting your Secretary of State shortly. ( And if you can wrangle a trip up the view is amazing! )

Dan

P.S. I, and any number of others really have to thank you all at Executive Motors. It's a wonderful looking car, and the Peers were so happy to have voted in near unison over something that they signed off on several proposals that had been deadlocked for months. One of which is the final paperwork on my retirement package. We keep our government bureaucracy very small and effecient by paying our bureaucrats very little but giving them big retirement bonuses if they do well. My ratings have always been excellent or beter, but the Peers are notoriously stingy. My boss, who is on the outs with several Peers, had been unable to get the paperwork with the bonuses he feels that I have earned over the years couped and counter couped. Now he can retire, and I'll get his job. Which allows me unlimited travel to auto shows and exhibitions. Consider me capering with glee.

P.S. Going into space sounds... well, I'm afraid of heights really. Not sure what they have in mind for it yet either, but perhaps I will get both the clearance and the nerve to take a trip.
