[Zoned87]

I'm assuming automatics aren't very popular over there.

Automatics are indeed popular Zoned87, but they are not easily available from Chinese makers like Lifan. That sophisticated technology is on its way but for now it remains too costly for most Chinese manufacturers.

Re: Lifan 620 1.6

Looks like the rear seat backrest covering came undone........a durability issue for Lifan new model.

This car looks familiar...

They've "inspired" in another car? Which one?

Thanks!

The front screams VW, and the rear reminds me of the older generation Camry.

Nothing too atrocious though.

I have a 1952 chevrolet car that has an automatic 3 speed transmission.

It's not really advanced technology.

 

[dragin]

Zoned 87, you are right. It is not advanced..... but it's Chevrolet's.

The powerglide is one of the oldest and simplest designs for an automatic transmission, it would probably be cheap to licence the technology and replicate them.

Invented in 1948.

On link posted below I found pictures of Lifan 620 with BMW-like grille.

Is this some special edition of the car or some factory option grill for 620 or something third?

 

[CarlitoxArg]

I preffer the old grille

Lipstick on a pig twice. One for each grille.

Can anyone comment on the build quality of this car? It doesn't look that bad on the pictures.
I've heard the 320 and the 520 are just terrible in this area...

This view into the luggage compartment was not impressive.

dragin, do you mean that the Lifan 620's trunk doesn't look spacious enough?

 

[dragin]

No Red Rally I am referring here to fit and finish. There are issues here with seat and other trim fit, as well as exposed wiring.
