The Roewe 550 is the Roewe W2 concept that was unveiled in Shanghai last year. Rumor has it that 550 is based off a shortened Rover 75 platform which makes it shorter than a VW Passat, but bigger than the latest Jetta/Sagitar. Under the hood we can expect to see the recently launched 1.8 Turbo assisted engine.
SAIC did once tease us with pictures of their development team in the UK working on a model of the 550, but now many pictures have leaked out onto the internet of the 550 sans camoflauge

A nice looking car, quite original too. Slight hints of VW Passat around the front but apart from that (and the wheels being a bit small) a very nice looking car. I think this proves that the Chinese are capable of producing an original design and shows they don’t need to copy Euro/Japanese/American design so blatantly.
Indeed, the Roewe 550 looks to be a beautiful car!
