Remember the Geely GE, the poster child for Chinese auto styling theft? It’s been updated for the upcoming Beijing Auto Show, and trust us, it doesn’t look like a Rolls-Royce copy anymore…
…but did we say it was an improvement? Ah well, the journey from pirating to successful, original design begins with a single, awkward step. We still prefer Hu Jintao’s retro-tastic Hongqi HQE though.
