not too sure about the "flying vagina" as a grill, but as mock ups go, its not too bad(would say not to shabby, but that would be a real understatement)

The wheels are a bit bling for my taste,but imagine it with something like the V10 from the new M5,or something similar.That would be some car.

Does Geely actually produce cars, or do they just crank out show cars?

am I a bad person for liking this, and mentioning as much in yesterday's QOTD? It looks like something Henrik Fisker might have sketched. Just drop in an LS2 and it's good to go...

Yeah, about the QOTD from yesterday, I change my answer to "maybe" but only this car. I dont even like to say it but i like it...cheese grater grille and all. Are there any specs (rwd, v-8?)

It looks like the evil love child of an Aston Martin & a 350Z.

I love the car... hate the grill. It would look menacing with a cool grill and the snort of a high-output 8-cyliner (wait... why stop at 8?!)

Instead of driving it, I'd be more interested in throwing
cheese at the grill to see if it would shred it.

Reminds me a little of the Chrysler 300 Concept from around 1990/91, especially the rear.

When the solstice reaches its mid cycle refresh I hope they steal some queues from this beauty, minus the grill.

The front grill looks like some creature from "Dune"

Geely controls the spice
Geely controls the universe

Pontiac Solstice coupe all day long.

The cleft grill look is getting old. Apparently resulting when the embryonic parts of the grill fail unite. Thus, I deem thee the Geely Hairlip GT.

yeah, but the dune creature really had the red flying vagina mouth part...kinda kinky, but gross

Looks a bit like the Pontiac Solstice's hair-lip half-brother. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Needs lipstick.

Can you undercut prices in the high-end sports car market? I don't know that someone who's otherwise looking at an Aston Martin or Corvette ZR1 or the like would really be interested in a Chinese car.

Needs an inline 12. Maybe the Chinese can copy one of those so the sophisticated driver can look like the Bohemian playboy he is cruising the Bund...until the engine detonates and he succumbs to the lead paint poisoning. They'll simply blame it on his mistress, though.

Looks like that flying vagina got a case of the flying herpes.

or a botched laser clinic hair removal gone bad

@elwood: In the land of a billion people, someone will buy it I'm sure.

@elwood: You can't really, but you enter a lower-segment market.

You won't really do too much undercutting on Aston Martin or on Ferrari, but if you come up with a $30-50k supercar, they could make a dent in the segment that can't afford but idolizes the ferrari performance, not only the ferrari image.

hell, if you can't beat them with all out performance, you canmake them lick the paint and die from lead poisoning

That grill got beat by the ugly stick.

Kinda cool lookin' despite the Cecil Turtle face and is that a spit drip at the bottom of its mouth?

Twenty points for the malaise era nose/trunk badge.

Looks like a curvier version of the Firepower! concept ChryCo had out a few years ago.

(Yes, the "!" is part of the name)

I think the proportions are gorgeous even though the face is a little unconventional. Kinda like Uma Thermon.

I'd rather have the squid beak grill than something dulled down for mass appeal.

Held together with duct tape and gum? If this isn't drop-shipped from the factory that way (like my scooter was), then I change my answer from yesterday to: "right after someone else drives one past the 100k mark without trouble."

First there was longcat.jpg, now the Chinese automaker Geely has given us longpontiacsolstice.jpg.

Use a paint thickness tester on this Chrysler Firepower! knockoff!

I can't imagine an uglier grill. Jeebus.

@DoctorNine: Don't worry, the mesh-grille factories that once cranked out Chrysler 300 pimp accessories will have this one taken care of in a jiffy!

I'd rock it. And that scares me.

It needs something like a 4-litre V-16 engine that revs to 12 grand and runs on anything from 87 octane to tequila.

For a Chinese car company, this is getting pretty weird.

@layabout:

If this thing was being made by BMW or Mercedes it would be the best car in history. (Well, maybe not...)

Since it's Chinese, though, not only do i not want to test drive it i don't even want to be anywhere near a test drive of it. When they stop making frames out of leftover sheet metal and bodies out of tinfoil sign me right the fuck up. Until then, since i prefer all of my vital organs to remain inside my body, you can count me out.

@Shapeshifter: I'm sure if anybody got a chance, they would take it for a test drive... Even idiots like you.
