Get yourself a Chinese Bentley, you’ll need 600k though


You cant stroll into your local Hong Qi dealer to pick one of these babies, instead you have to go direct to FAW (First Automobile Works) and pick one up yourself, we hope you have deep pockets, as the car will cost you $662,244USD (not RMB, USD!) The Hong Qi limo will be sold in a limited number to the Chinese domestic market and the rest going overseas, probably as gifts to various despotic leaders and failed nations that China likes doing business with.

    This by far is one the most horrible cars I’ve ever seen in my entire life, and I’ve seen a lot of cars! There is a huge issue with design in china, in all areas of design.
