Did this car already done its crash test? Why does it have a weird name? What does the car look like? Still wondering..
I'm thinking a lot if I want to buy a Chinese car after watching another Chinese made car, a Brilliance BS6, in a crash test.. absolutely no chance to survive.. the car was badly damaged..
I don't want to gamble my life traveling with my family in a Brilliance BS6, as it's got a bad chassis..

I dare Geely to take it to the Frankfurt Motor show, put it on a stand beside Mercedes and not have their reps laugh.

The art of the sales brochure can be a slow learning curve!

If Geely ever hopes to sell vehicles in N America, they will need to come up with better model names.
Not too many people would want to admit they drive a "Merrie Beautiful Scenery".
Just "Geely" is bad enough.
