Interesting new pics below of the Geely GT. I wonder if it's beyond a concept model now. It looks slightly shorter and more roadster than the Chinese batmobile.

Was Honda participating in NASCAR or was that the Indy Car racing?

Dude, how can you guys forget Kia?! My guess is that Korean police officiers are not required to know English. (Unlike Hong Kong)

Not just cheesy names, but also cheesy styling.
If Chinese brands are going to get anywhere, they need to stop copying other brand's styling. Chery has a model that resembles the old ES. That Lifan 320 looks like the Mini Cooper.... And BYD? Corolla anyone?
