it seems they are not just for the show, hopefully GWM will go further with some of them for production

[CCF mod]

Second one reminds me of Nissan's MPVs and last one is similar to Fiat Panda Cross.

[BringIt]

Cool cars! They will be great for all markets around the world, except the US of course. Can't wait to see them on the streets.

1. that top car is hideous (whats it copied from Yaris or Satria ?)

2. the van is nice but old design looks like a Toyota Spacia.

3. a hideously cute mini 4x4 lol I don't know what to think

4. GWM should develop their own pick up, I think they would do a fantastic job developing from scratch but need to take a leap of faith with there R&D if they have one

[lucho]

I think this pictures show the great R&D department that GWM has. There is a great future for this chinese brand.

I thought it would be a welcome relief to see some new posts that were car-related, and nothing to do with racist bullshit about which East Asian nation has the prettiest women.

So nothing particularly new here, just another restyling of Great Wall's proposed new small car line-up...

The Mini. It's Chinese name (迷你) is identical to the 'British' Mini.

The Jiayu. I can't see too clearly but the English name looks like Cowry.

Thanks Trivia Tim for bringing us back on track.
I'm confused by the name "Mini" above...is that what they're calling this little 4X4?. I think *************************************** had referred to it as the Peri 4X4.
Will Fiat's Sergio Marchionne follow up on his threat to take legal action against GW?

[chinacartimes]

yes - when I got the pictures before the show it was the pery 4x4 now its the Great Wall Mi Ni 迷你

1.3 升SUV "长城迷你"，是国内第一款小排量最省油的四驱SUV，这是长城汽车最新推出的一款车型，四轮盘刹，带AB S，在动力配置、底盘、安全设计等方面强化了运动性能，具备良好的越野功能，它颠覆了传统SUV概念，使这 款小型SUV独树一帜，也必将在市场上脱颖而出。

Who got the info from autoblog - who got the info from me. So in short, who knows where the mini name came from!
