Geely LG-1, once more with feelings [renamed]

[picantorange]

Finally, a facelift that changed something on the Vios's looks.

In reality Asian automible (Japanese, Korean, Malaysian, and now Chinese) all find their roots in starting out as very near carbon copy of more superior designs. As far as I remember, Japanese cars of the 70's or 80's have their styling cues inspired (read:they imitated) by American cars like the Cadillac Sedan de Ville (Toyota Crown copied its looks), AMC, Pontiac (Mitsubishi Galant copied its looks), Mustang (Mitsubishi Colt fastback copied it) etc... Then we move to the Korean and Malaysians who tried to look Japanese. Remember Proton Wira? it looks like a streched Lancer. Daewoo Racer, yuck! now that's an original ugly design. :D

Subtle/not-so-subtle copying of an established marquee in the early stages of a car manufacturer's production cycle is common.

I believe that Geely will eventually outgrow this stage (just like Toyota, Daewoo, Kia, etc.) and produce their own unique brand image. Now, that will be scary to Japanese, Korean and American car makers.

The Proton Wira is a rebodied Mitsubishi Lancer built with full authorization from Mitsubishi Motors.

The Racer is a rebadged Opel (Diyos ko po, gagaya na lang sa mali pa gumaya, hehehe).

The Daewoo Racer is based on the Opel Kadett "E"(aka Vauxhall Astra in the UK), it was produced from 1984-1991.


The almost identical USDM Pontiac LeMans was manufactured by Daewoo in Korea.

WIK, walang license from toyota yung mga geely cars.

[OTEP]

OT: Previous generation Opel ang Racer. AFAIK, previous generation Vectra siya. Yung hindi na lumabas sa local market. It was also sold as the Pontiac Le Mans in the U.S.

Sa auctions merong mga Opel-badged versions nito.

i think the Daewoo Racer/GTi is the Opel Cadette.

[carlocaraddict]

I think Opel Kadet/Vauxhall Astra yang Daewoo Racer nung 80s sa Europe


it even became the Pontiac Le Mans sa US.

The Daewoo Espero is based on the platform of the FWD 1980's Opel Ascona "C". The Espero's body was designed by Bertone of Italy.

Opel Ascona "C" (1982-88)

Hmmmm. Weird. I never saw a Geely while in Shanghai. Never saw an SUV either... except for half a dozen Cayennes.

I finally saw the car that made it to the detroit auto show!!!

Looks ok in person. Panel gaps are almost not evident. Headlights seem to have been derived from the S-class merc

I've seen a hilux(model before the d4d in da phils) with a face thats been tinkered at the same level as the vios on pic. Same body, pinalaki lang yun mga headlights, grill at tail lights. If I come across it, I'll take a pic.
