Chinese Cars you Want?

Good question - I wonder if this is a valid choice?

What counts as a Chinese car?
Maybe this counts as a multi-national car...

that is a cool motor. never seen one quite like that. when I first came here there were still quite a few of the later shanghai cars, I was always tempted but one never came my way.

i had a beijing jeep 2020 for a while, that was fun.

i dont like old cars...i find this pretty ugly actually

and also looks like every other car from that gen

Without old cars, there'd be no new ones.

If you think it looks familiar, that's because it is. The SH-760 is based on the Mercedes "Ponton" generation of the late 1950's:

Even the engine was a direct clone of the Mercedes straight-six. This was all done legally, btw - just as the ZIS was a clone of the old Packard 180.

If you think they all look alike, you haven't been exposed to enough old cars. All cars bear a strong resemblance to others of their era, but in the fifties this was much less so than it is today. A Geely looks not that dissimilar from a Toyota or a Chevy, though it does look different. Even a Ferrari uses the same style of plastic bumpers and molded-in trim as a Geely or a Chery these days - producing a much more generic look than cars of the past.
