So its not really called the monster, but hell, it certainly looks like one.

We always wondered when we say this car at the Beijing Auto Show in 2006 if they would ever release this car, and it seems that Dongfeng have reasonably high hopes for this car.

This car was designed by Dongfeng themselves and it … urm.. shows. China Car Times doesnt have any specifics on the car, other than its pretty ugly and that Dongfeng are planing on selling 2000 of the cars in the Japanese market next year. The oddest thing about the Dongfeng coupe is the boot of the car that seems to be able to raise and lower itself to give the driver more boot space should he need it.

The Dongfeng coupe comes complete with tiny 15inch wheels and odd looking indicator lights down the side of the front wings:

We cant wait for this one to hit the market this month, oh no – we put the wrong ending sentence in this blog post, no, we dont want this to hit anything other than a brick wall.
