damn thats a big man. China's come a long way in terms of car designs, it's somewhat less ugly. They're next step is to get down the safety and reliability, then off to power and performance development.

I think the point was to show how far China has come. Just imagine where their cars will be in 5-10 years time.

not too shabby compared to their past products.

outer panels seem like they fit pretty well together and gaps are consistent.

Be interesting in a few year.

Do not want.
I looks like they face lifted something they started copying since the early 90's.

He looks alot like jeffield, srsly.
But wow the interior is exactly like the xb, and the exterior is kind of similar to the xB mashed with some chevy car.... Quality looks decent though.

Probably where Hyundai was 10 years ago.

some say, he poses for car magazines in china, and the editorial makes fun of it.
some say, he can't get out of the car above without the jaws of life because he's got fatter eating KFC in the backseat.


he's NOT jeffield, but he's jeffield's failed-at-immigration Northern Chinese cousin!

Grille logo looks like Chrysler.
Body looks like a cross between a Chevy Tracker and Nissan Cube.
Front View looks like a Nissan mixed with a Honda Element.
Tail lights looks like Dodge Durango.

A for effort, but they still have a long way to go.

Also we know nothing about the performance and reliability, and the Chinese aren't known for either at this point.

the surprise point of this car is that the engine is known to have no connection whatsoever to foreign engine suppliers.

so they are now designing and building their own engines in house, which is what makes GWM competitive against other foreign technology dependent small car firms....

and to make a 1.5L engine with VVT and 105HP is actually world class engineering, if you think about it.

^ how difficult is it to replicate all the parts under a Toyota Yaris hood, and claim they design their own shit?

Honda spent 10 years developing Vtec, there's no way GWM have the skill without copying this and that.

This is kinda fruity. IMHO I think your off on this one. I had an 'argument' over a Sam Adams and sushi last week with an immigrant in that i said that I dont think 'imports' should be 'upping' the power game. I set a scene. Next i mrntioned about the fact that Walmart as an analogy had ditched Glad bags from there shelf space. All I m saying is that there is no proof or credibility to have the 'strongest' brand recognition without the backing of an entire boardroom albeit guests or longtime members.

yeah I don't think upping the power and performance do any good to china cars. They need to come into the market and round up the segment under the Yaris and Fit which, more than you'd imagine, has a lot of popularity.

Currently that market is occupied by 15 year old kei imports but people would rather, of course, buy a new car. People who do buy old kei cars don't give 2 rats' ass about the performance as long as it's a plucky thing that carries his/her day to day stuff around in good grace (as long as it does the job better than the Smart for a whole less money the china cars got game)

Performance and power can come a lot later.

The metallurgy needed to build an engine in house in large production numbers and with any respectable amount of longevity is a strength that many car makers cannot achieve yet in China. Most smaller car companies rely on engines imported from Japan and Europe to make their own knockoff shells and dump the engines into them.

so GWM has a definitive advantage in that department.

Hell we build a lot of toyota cars but the engines are still made in Japan....

The interior is exactly the same as the Scion XB

it probably doesn't have air conditioning. It probably doesn't have a catalytic converter. It probably doesn't have airbags

hk20000

It probably has all those things. Remember GWM has been exporting cars to Europe and SE Asia for quite a few years now.
