Another sedan from BYD: The G6

4 January 2010 51 Comments

BYDG6-spyBYD’s love of sedans is hardly a secret, although they do have an SUV and MPV in the pipeline, it seems that their bread and butter is sedans. The latest sedan is this rendered BYD G6 (left) which is apparently going to be bigger than the current BYD F6.

From what we understand, BYD’s G-series of cars is going to be their semi premium line up, whilst the F-series will be the regular run of the mill cars. The first car into the G-series was the BYD G3.

BYD also has the L3 sedan, and an I6 sedan in development, it appears that BYD are certain to head down the well trodden road of quantity over quality, that their northern neighbours Chery and Geely seem to be doing so well.

Holy Honda Accord batman!! I prefered the previous generation Accord to the current one, BYD have stuck the new Kia Ceed grille on it though which is not a good move!!

I see that BYD is diversifying, from making Toyota clones to clones of other brands too.

Looks nice, I don’t see a Honda in it.

lol @ Ed

from toyota to honda, byd has got a “thing” for the japanese.

if chery and geely can slowly move away from clones then how come this warren buffet endorsed company still using photocopier machine ?

It doesn’t look like a Honda, and is not a photocopy.

It’s not a long term investment.

Ed

to deny that this looks like a previous Accord is to blindly defend BYD at all costs

face it

it is very Accordish
it’s not as bad as the Corolla-carbon-copied F3, but fact is that it does looks very much like the Accord.

Where and how does it look like an Accord?? Just because it’s somewhat Accordish doesn’t mean it’s a copy. There are tons of cars out there that are Accordish.

Are you kidding me? You’re right, it isn’t a copy, it’s a fotoshop of an Honda Accord press photo, with a ” new ” grille and a crappy backdrop. They didn’t even bother changing the wheel design or the color of the car.

Now, seriously, i’ve seen some of your comments here before. Are you trolling?

Are you blind?? The wheel is clearly different. Plus, have you seen it in person to make a comparison with an Accord as opposed to blind judgement on a low resolution photo, which may or may not even be real.

Ed, you failed

It’s not even a copy of the Accord, done by BYD

This picture actually IS an Accord

just scroll down the page and see the link posted by Sydney

Oh wow, so it IS a photoshop. I never realized that.

 
Comment by jacksonliu
2010-01-07 18:50:15

ok
so you realized it was a photoshop work since the beginning, and it was based on an Accord picture.

even though, you would still argue it didn’t look like an Accord.

now, THAT makes sense….

Dont all new cars look like the Honda accord?

True, some people will jump up and point their fingers even when they see only one or two bits that are similar to the Honda Accord.

What car does look like a Honda Accord? I don’t know of any Toyotas, Fords, GM, Suzuki, Volkswagon. Never seen a car on the road that I would have mistaken for one.

How can some of you possibly NOT see a Honda Accord in this?

Just cover the front and look at the side panels.

I still don’t see an Accord. The side panels mean nothing, you can’t even see that much in this photo.

I see only some similarities, however, this is definately not a copy.

Good car. I like it and I hope we will be able to see the final version soon. A real version.

 
Comment by sydney
2010-01-06 13:49:34

If you want to see a real version just go to Honda or Acura dealer and look for the Honda Accord Euro and Acura TSX.

check out this link;http://images.drive.com.au/drive_images/Editorial/2007/10/04/04Honda_m_m.jpg, and look at the byd g6. it looks like byd photo shopped the picture of the accord and just changed the grille!

Comment by jacksonliu
2010-01-06 20:51:04

Indeed

yeah, this is what actually happened

the picture on top of this post was probably just a stupid photoshop work done and released by someone at BYD just to cause some fuss in the media, so that they can get some attention by the press.

we’ve been debating over some stupid photoshop work. This debate is over and useless.

There’s no point for NO ONE to deny that this looks like an Accord anymore. It IS an Accord, period.

just like the photoshoped “Byd” Porsche suv?

HA!
Ed u big troll noob. Sweet…

Plus here’s a thing: ed, Q and traven are the same guy I reckon. They always post in the same order! Just poor little eddie coming up with imaginary friends to support his sad attempts at defending these amoral brands…

Good try mate.

uhuh, yeah keep trying

There’s no point saying some stupid and not even logical things like you did. Ed, Q, traven, me, and some others all use the same email because we don’t want to type in our emails when commenting. For privacy and safety matters. Ed was generous ebough to let us use his email in the QQ group, and as far as I know, he is a lot less of a troll than you.

Wes you are just adding fuel to the fire.

and who started the fire?? Why don’t you ask yourself that question. I’m trying to kill the fire.

Wasn’t me. I never claimed you were all the same person. I have suspected it but never claimed it. But to admit you are all using the same email address. That makes no sense at all.

Never seen someone kill a fire by admitting they were sharing a single email address. Sounds like the worst possible way to kill it.

LOL! u never know! Maybe it’s just CCT pulling our common legs in one go to get more traffic and thus more advertising revenue for his site!

HAHA

I’ll check this conversation again next time am on the loo on my Iphone. It’s really just worth it then, I read garbage and I smell it at the same time!

I didn’t say you need one email to reply, I said I didn’t want to type MY email in there, so I use Ed’s. Read over my post again.

Comment by Head Honcho
2010-01-08 13:38:42

That makes so much more sense. ???? Why not make one up. No one checks the email addresses used to see if they are real here. Do you go into his account to see if there were responses too??? Then you might end up responding to comments for Ed on accident?? Hmmmmmm

Well, I didn’t know that, I never knew you could just “make one up”.

 
Comment by Wes
2010-01-09 03:39:41

and no, I don’t go into his account. I don’t even know what you’re talking about. You think I hacked his account?
