Geely GE aka the ‘Baby Rolls’


The Geely GE has been known as the Baby Rolls Royce for quite some time in the Chinese press, and its presance at the Shanghai Auto Show impressed everyone, although many were wondering about its 3 seats. What sort of limo only has three seats?

Still, the red shag carpet in the back makes it look all the better.

    I’m sure this won’t lead anywhere, and R.Roice will end loosing in Chinese courts, but it’s still worth posting:

    Really? I believe the rest of the world is mocking this company for copying RR and the last generation Hyundai Equus. Please write an article that states the true fact. Thank you.

    Ye this car is a really bad move by Geely, just one bad apple spoil the whole basket, Geely will have to deal with this image of RR copy now for shanghai auto 2009. RR is considering a lawsuit now. I still don’t understand why Geely spokesman at shanghai auto reiterated that it is not a copy, it is original work.

    Btw when did Hyundai Equus come into this ?

    It’s quite interesting that RR did not say anything about Chrysler 300c

    Mistake — especially the “throne” for a (single) back seat. They might just sell 3 or 4 of these , f they’re lucky.

    I think the Geely GE is an excellent looking LUXURY CAR from CHINA! Also I think that the “Geely GE” front end and GRILLE are even more impressive than the current ROLLS ROYCE! Is this car going to be available in the UNITED STATES ? If so when and how much will it cost?

    great looking motor, from fotos one would confuse it with a ridiculouly priced and Im a RR owner Real Roller. -! Real RR were plainly never worth their heavy price tag.
    As to RR suing ? Remember how they sued John Dodd with his beast. and that wasnt a copy, and argualy had a right to use the RR logo, it did have a RR engine albeit from an aircraft .

    Actually, Rolls Royce is BMW, It’s the Bentley’s that are VW.
