Another sedan from BYD: The G6
BYD’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.

*cough* Honda Accord *cough*
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.
Oh, ok…

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.
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.
It looks more like Honda Spirior!
wow this is appauling first they copied the bmw logo, then the corolla and now the Honda Accord Euro / Acura TSX! Another chinese copycat to add to a growing list of chinese rip offs
lol i thought BYD is already on the list long ago
How can some of you possibly NOT see a Honda Accord in this?
how can you see an 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 meant the “new” byd g6 sedan is new to the list of Chinese rip offs!
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.
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!
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?
yeah
just like that
you nailed
