Are my eyes seeing what they think they’re seeing–protruding headlights? Any photos from the front-quarter view?
Michael, those are stock Red Flag headlights:

Tycho looked at the Hongqi limos back in January:

What a proper modern Sedan deVille or Lincoln Continental should look like.
Instead we get the em-kay-cuew-zee-tee-w-x-y-s-t-u-v-w-x-y-and-z. Or the angry hunchback of Catera Dame that is the CTS.
Siggh… I just hope Ralph Giles at Chrysler keeps American auto design alive. I truly dread the day of driving angry mutated blobs in any color I want, so long as they’re blobby. Dodge Dart does not give me hope
Well not being able to see the front, the rear made me want to say; “Slap some Oldsmobile 98 badges on that sucker and bring it right over here…”
It was so designed to help demonstrators move off of the road and either
a) to the sidewalk
b) under the politoboro special 98
c) to a re-education camp
Agreed Morbo, figures the Chinese would actually ‘get’ classic American styling.
The rear looks like a 1987 Cadillac Sedan de Ville.
The front has headlamps a bit like a 1956 Lincoln Continental.
I swear they were playing GTA Vice City the night before they designed it.
Wow, the Chinese really get it. That is one stately, authoritarian, land yacht. Much better looking than the Crown. I know its actually styled after Hongqi limos from the 50s, but it looks more like a proper American sedan than what most American brands are selling now.
The front of this car does not in the least bit match the rest of it. For lack of a better way of putting it, head on it looks as if it has this surprised look on its face. It’s a wonderful example of how a car can evolve into something that is so odd its cool.
That aint the Honqi H7 shown here:
