Whitegood. Best thing about it would be that no one in the right mind would steal it. I wonder if they will have a crash rating of 0 like the first chinese made car in europe.....

The front end looks like a cross between a Merc and a Acura RL....

For right now, I'd be more worried about Chery than Geely. Chery seems to be aiming higher to start.

I am curious about the quality/perception they're going to have.

It's all over for us. Time for China to become the best country in the world.

The Fat Lady hasn't sung yet. She may be warming up, but there's still time for her to cancel the show.

No suprise to me to see a Chinese automaker in an auto show. With that over 20% productivity rate (that is the more accurate re-estimated percentage). They have already exceded France and the U.K.
China is for sure gonna be a superpower soon, I think India will too, but later. Things will be different in the future, anways I'll stfu...

I wonder if they know they named their car after the worst movie of all time?

if I can get one for under 10k brand new with a warranty, I'll drive it until the warranty is over for a winter beater and then throw it away.

I hear that Wally World's clothes, as cheap as they are/look, actually last a decent while. I would pick this up for a daily driver to beat up on. I read a USA Today article yesterday saying that Geely is trying to introduce an entry-level sedan under $10. If aesthetics are any testimony to the build quality of this thing... why not?
