It’s not entirely clear if FAW are planning to continue with the Besturn brand or not, but it seems that they are now planning to continue with the brand expansion and worry about branding later. Initially the Ben Tung brand was known as Besturn in English, but it later fell under the Hong Qi (Red Flag) naming series at this years Beijing Auto Show.

The B90 is FAW’s third self developed sedan after the B50 and original B70, a B30 based on the VW Jetta is apparently under development. The B50 and B70 models made use of the Mazda6 platform, and it is not clear what the B90 will be sitting on this time, it could be a slightly lengthened Mazda6 platform.
