Changfeng’s “Volvo S40″ spotted out


Changfengs very own Volvo S40 clone has been photographed in the Changfeng factory and its pictures leaked to the internet, presumeably causing slight embarrasement for its new master, Guangzhou Auto.

The Changfeng ‘S40′ was expected to be shown at the Shanghai Auto Show earlier this year, but it failed to make an appearence. The sedan is codenamed the CP2, and measures (LxWxH) 4480mm x 1770mm x 1462mm, and hsa a wheelbase of 2640mm which puts into into the B-segment against the Mazda6, the VW Passat, and other similar sized vehicles. Pricing has not yet been announced, but a conservative guess maybe in the 100,000rmb to 120,000rmb area.

    This car is not worth the consumer’s buck. I cannot understand what mentality these Chinese people have. They take advantage in the reputation that other companies have developed. Crazy! Just unfair.
