The company will present future sedan to Chinese public as a concept at 2011 Shanghai Motor Show.

It definitely looks nicer than all the previous Byd. I hope that the final version will have that style.

KIA/Hyundai impressed look, but to me - very good and doesn't look like a rip-off. Let's wait for price tag...

anybody knows what i3 model is mentioned in the article?

I like it so much,how much it will be sold in future? who knows

Is this new F3?

I believe it's just a photoshop.

They can't go this fast from full cameo to no cameo at all!

It's merely a facelift.

looks very nice and away from Corolla

It looks like this is the real deal:

This view of the BYD F3's interior is appealing in that the steering wheel appears fat and plump. And inviting. For a quick spin and a loud Foghat tune. Nice.

They've not just copied the current Corolla, they've improved on it.

Well-add some Deep Purple 'Highway Star' to it and you've got a nice party for two!
