Default Geely concept cars at 2007 Shanghai auto show

The somewhat ironically named Beauty Leopard has received a major facelift for 2007...



The old Beauty Leopard



The Vision has also been updated...

Beauty Leopard looks Aflaish but with crappy plastic looks cheap IMO.

Vision I like pre faclift for some reason, new one is very generic.

Thumbs down

The Beauty Leopard looks like they hi-jacked the front of the Alfa-Romeo Brera , covered the lights to look like the old Hyundai Elantra and then
gave it and Edsel Grille. Absolutely horrid.

The other one looks quite nice.

Did anyone else notice the front of the Vision looks like a Prius (and the old one looked like a Corolla)?

Personally I think the new Beauty Leopard looks much better than the old one. I like it.

Side view of the Vision



Back 3/4 view of the Mybo (Beauty Leopard)



New CVVT engine



I must say Geely is certainly shaping up with their design and engineering by the looks of things.

These are just concept cars for now, not production models.

Though I gotta give Geely props for trying, they've got to try a little harder...

The proportions on these cars are just so out of wack. The overhangs are way too long, wheelbase too short, door handle too low, angle and creases don't match from section to section of the car, etc. etc.

Please work on the overall cohesiveness/consistency of the design, and not just throw a bunch of design ideas and tidbits together.
