Prices have not yet been formally anounced, it is estimated that the prices will be in the region of 120,000rmb to 160,000rmb once launched next month, however, deposits merely secure your place in the queue of collecting your car.

The Roewe 550 is SAICs first self developed vehicle under the Roewe brand, and continues to use some of the parts and designs from the Rover 75, which SAIC purchased when the ailing British marque, Rover, went bankrupt in 2005.

      That doesnt sound too bad, does it?

      Although, the 550 is not supposed to be a sports sedan, it really is a noisy car on the inside!

      Looking forward to my test drive ;)
