Yeah, the designs are really good.
Look at the engine specs.
You think the designs are real? No, they’re trying to draw investor dollars. Engine specs/tech for a 0.8 to drive one of those boats, I think not, unless you like a 20+ second 0-100.

Looks like they are experimenting with various design directions. Why not launch an online polling website to see which one gets the highest vote? hehe Anyway I like picture 6′s idea of the rear.

True, plus the Chinese mindset for luxury will be different to a “westerners” as well.

I always thought of producing a luxury product as being a mindset, once that mindset is learned then they will move into the premium segment with ease. They have to make a product desirable enough to warrant a high price tag, and good enough quality to be on par or better than existing mid level luxury cars.

Intelligence and drive and not the real problem. Do they have the ABILITY to be able to compete with the pure luxury makes yet?…. It will happen but needs time.

The Chinese shouldn’t fear any automaker since they do have the intelligence and drive to challenge any luxury car company.
