Have you seen how a Chinese home-market vehicle fares in U.S crash testing? Not pretty.

That's just a matter of time, and luxury is a lot easier than sport. If Korean can catch up to 80%, so can Chinese. Same bunch right?

Very Continental GT -esque from that angle. But not a bad looking concept.

This is design is too close to Bentley's Continental GT. Grafting on two hidden doors is not going to cut it.

If they try to sell this car any place outside of China that even has half-assed copyright and trademark infringement laws, it will not make it to market.
