Jiangbei Machinery Plant built a car called Golo that looked like a VW Polo, does anyone have a picture of it ?


Thanks dragin :thumb:dragin said:The Golo 阁萝, or Glow, was produced by Jiangbei which later became Tongtian, and in late 2005 was absorbed by Jiangnan Auto down in Hunan Province. According to Xinhuanet.com in November 2003, this model was "independently" developed with the help of "German experts". However another source indicates that the model is a Suzuki Alto knockoff.
It is also said that VW was planning to take legal action against Tongtian for IPR infringement, i.e. it was a copy of the Polo. Don't know if this squares with your info Phaeton but thought I'd pass it along.
One more thing. In September 2004, CBU reported that a second generation of the Glow, Glow Liangjing and Glow Meijing, with panoramic sunroofs were introduced in August of that year.
You know whats the sad thing here? The people at the company Ivy or whatever never replies to my email and I really would spend money to buy the mold for this vehicle and any spare parts they have lying around. Then I could just get the interior & the dash & everything else from the generic smart ripoffs and put a microcar engine in there and Im set. But they wont respond. When was the last time she was online anyways?martin_krpan said:Pictures of Glow!
