Nice little car...

The rear reminds me a bit of the Fiat Stilo that is currently sold in Brazil :P

Better looking now...

I hope that quality is improving fast so that Geely can export to more countries.

Looks more solid than the predecessors (MB & Sparky)

The rear end is a copy of the Chevrolet Kalos:

And indeed you both are quite correct, then it brings me to the next question :

Fiat copied Chevrolet or Chevrolet copied Fiat ? Which is which ?

Cannot say copied..............must put it in a nicer way. Who uses whose design as a reference?:lol:

Itz really ooooooooooooooooooollllllll

Lets jump to the past for a moment to check sporty version of MR named Geely GT.

From China Car Times - The 1.3l mini car had a number of design features merged into one little package, it has sports coloring (either red, or yellow), with a matching interior, and sport alloys.It also appears to have SUV style bumper protectors. On the engine side of things, the Jaguar Wind GT has a 1.3l engine which is supposedly economical (although only achieving Euro 2 emissions standard), and sporty.

Sadly the Jaguar Wind GT is now out of production, but when it was in production it was 50,000rmb on the road.

Eww! Mb reminds me of Lada 112.

Wondering if someone can fill me in. I'm interested in Geely's Daihatsu Charade based cars and am trying to work out their timeline. I think its the Haoqing first in 1998, with its pseudo-Mercedes grille (including that funny little semi-notch version which may have used the Merrie name), then the MB/Uliou in 2002 (was the hatch called Merrie, and the sedan the Uliou?), then in ??2003 the MR (Merrie) 203, followed by a restyled Merrie/Uliou in 2007 with new rear end treatments?

You're probably thinking "who cares?" but I am a bit of an obsessive completist. Thanks to anyone who can answer my question.

Colorblind engineer is colorblind...

If Geely manages to pop 120+ hp from this I can see this being a hit for the boy racers down here (myself included).

Edit: On a closer inspection, it seems that the cars (both in showromm and carpark) seem to tilt on one side. Or is it just me?

I see it too LD.
The leaning low on the left is more than an illusion.......

But I don't think you will never see these models down your way. They are not suitable for export and will be headed for the Geely museum before long.

Uh, people....................Geely stopped producing this over a year ago. I'm sure there are some unsold models still sitting around in some showrooms, but that's it. The freedom cruiser (CK) is now Geely's smallest 4 door sedan, and the Panda is Geely's small hatchback (available with a 1.0 or 1.3l engine). I drove the MR several times - somewhat noisy (especially the gearbox), mushy brakes, numb feeling power steering......but the engine had decent power and the sport model of the MR was cool........in a ugly way. One interesting thing.....I still see a lot of them on the roads. Maybe they were noisy and harsh, but they were surprisingly reliable (smaller towns in Guangxi still use old Geelys as taxis, as well as the unauthorized "private" taxis in Shenzhen). I will not mourn the passing of the MR, but it was a important car for Geely's learning curve and education in proper car production. So...........the MR is dead, long live the MR!!;)
