It doesn't take any more time to design a nice lokoing car as it does to design a mediocre or ugly car. So why don't the chinese designers design good cars (that's design not copy!!).

The lights are at an odd angle (and appear too big). They then meet a huge bit of chrome which is straight which makes it look like it's melted. There is no style involved in it at all. however as we all know and have argued countless times, style is a personal thing. It reminds me of the Proton Savvy (it's not chinese but it's plug ugly around the butt and looks quite like this too!!). What has happened to cars having style?

I gotta agree with you Ash.....this is a example of Geely getting their act together. I think it's pretty decent, and if the interior is pretty much the same as the sedan than even better. If they keep the price between 50-60,000 rmb it will be a hit - you get A LOT more car for the price than the A1. More room for carrying things, more room for passenger comfort, more engine options......just more "car" in general. Maybe this is the beginning of Geely's "coming out" party - new logo, new in house designs......maybe a new, more agressive attitude? I've been wondering if Geely was going to "step it up".......maybe now they're starting to do it. I'll be VERY interested to see this car in person! Man……….TOUGH room here.
