This clear Fanta Orange I drank today.

I don't know how this happened, or that it was possible.

I made a unified car classification system.

I am so sick and tired of different countries having different car classification systems. So I collaborated with Gemini to try and come up with a more streamlined system.

Cars on this system are classed by three metrics:

  • Size

  • Body Style

  • Market

Size is obviously to do with how big the car is:

Alpha(< 3.7m): City cars and micro-hatches.

Beta(3.7m – 4.3m): Small hatches and sub-compact crossovers.

Gamma (4.3m – 4.7m): Compact family cars and medium SUVs.

Delta (4.7m – 4.9m): Large sedans and full-sized family haulers.

Epsilon(> 4.9m): Luxury barges, long-wheelbase vehicles, and large bakkies.

Body style is obviously to do with what kind of body style the car falls into:

H: Hatchback

S: Sedan

X: Crossover / SUV

B: Bakkie (South African word for a Pick-up Truck)

M: MPV / Van

The Market is to who this car is targeted to and what price point it is.

One: Budget / Value (Focus on price and utility)

Two: Mainstream / Global Standard (The "standard" version of a car)

Three: Premium (Higher tech, badge appeal, better materials)

Four: Luxury / Exotic (Focused on comfort, status, and exclusivity)

Five: Performance (Focused on speed, Power output, and handling)

So for example:

The Suzuki Swift 1.2 GL would be classified as a Beta H-One.

Whilst

The BMW 320i would be classified as a Delta S-Two

Whilst the M3 would be classified as a Delta S-Five

Please let me know what you guys think.
