they have been hard at work researching car forums, and have finally created something that can only be classified as "teh sekc"

Sure it looks pretty until you notice all the brands its stealing styling from and notice the horrible chinese build quality.

I'll buy one, but only if it has the optional lead paint package. It is however just what they do in China these days, is copy everyone else. I guess in a communist nation people aren't encouraged to invent things or think for themselves as a rule. Just work hard making copies of other stuff. There's simply isn't one design feature not obviously from other cars.

There's no delicacy to the design, at all. Nothing that interesting either. Inoffensive but far from pretty.

I think this design is outstanding. Look how long that nose is. And the breadvan rear end. Athough there is a mishmash of design cues thrown in, this is thoroughly original. The Chinese are definitely making progress. I think they'll be a force to be reckoned with soon.

This design looks to me as if a Celica, a Scirroco and a 350Z all got together and knocked one out.

@13thfloorelevator: Yeah, something about the front view is throwing off major RX-8 vibes to me, too. The fender flares, maybe?

If they gave it decent performance and handling and were able to build it in such a way as to not be a rattling death trap I might actually be interested.

@Spasticteapot: That might not be so bad actually. NA1 chassis, 13b engine, 5 or 6sp manual. Would be a fun little car, safety wouldn't be too horrible either, at least as good as a Se7en kit car.

A little something here, a lot of every other car ever there...whatever, it still looks friggin' great. Love the proportions. Car designers worldwide need to start realizing that people have always loved the 3 feet of bodywork between the end of the front wheelwells and the start of the A-pillar. Freudian theories might account for it, but who's keeping track?

@spacewalk: That sounds like the name of a low-budget sci-fi flick. Or a Will Ferrell movie.

Of course, you just know it's going to be a cheaped-down Miata...1988 design spec.

Scorpio!
He'll sting you with his dreams of power and wealth,
Beware of

His twist-and-turn obsessions are his plot to rule the world and his employees' health...
