The observatory noticed that there was a very cold wave coming already, and when the conference begin, the cold wave come true, the nipping cold wind with rain and snow aggressively go through Zhejiang province.

Hi Jason:
Is this new model a product of Gonow's acquisition of Hanjiang Auto, former subsidiary of Avi China?
The reason I ask is because the one that Micodelija points out seems to be the previous minivan known as the Image 伊美 SFJ6370.
The front end treatment is very nice-looking.

Hola Mr. ZZfirst,
I am in Lima, Perú, yesterday I was l ooking at this minivan, it looks nice, I am interested in the cargo version, but the finish in the replacement part (metal plate that replaces the windows are really bad looking, they are glued and also fixed with rivets), i understand that it is a working vehicle... but a better finish SHOULD be performed. I am also impressed that the local dealer can not offer Air Conditioning as an extra for the cargo version, their answer: "That is the way they are shipped to us...." so, locally they don't carry spare ACs to install.
Best wishes,
Fernando
