Geely prototype spotted out


A new Geely hatchback has been spotted out by a user of the Auto.Sohu forum, this model is quite similar in design to the Geely FC-3 model which Geely displayed at the Shanghai Auto Show earlier this year.

What do CCT readers think of this latest model from Geely? It appears that Geely may well use a different brand for these models, perhaps the same way Kia altered their branding for the latest Kia Borrego, in an attempt to move Geely away from the ‘cheap and cheerful’ cars and more towards a higher, more up market brand. This car is clearly a step in the right direction for Geely.

    A go cart would be a step in the right direction for Geely!

    This car looks very generic. Like a cross between the Brilliance FRV and the MG3.

    I like it. It looks bold. But I hope it’s not built on the Xiali Charade platform like so many others.

    Well at least that goes to show that Geely is actually working on those models presented at the Beijing Auto Show this year. Not hot air this time.

    generation Kia Rio Cinco!!

    ash what’s your view about the recent Chery Faira JJ ?

    There are numerous spy shots circulating around.

      Ive seen one or two, and a cowin2. I think Chery needs to pull out a new QQ sized car, as the competion to the QQ is certainly hotting up, but the QQ3 still sells several thousand per month.
      .
      Send any links to spyshots in though.

    I would say that the model looks alright for its purpose, but that it doesn’t stand out that much. It looks like they are moving in a reasonable direction by not taking too much risk on the styling.
