They're good, the best line from the description: "Safety airbag is in front of the driver; the reverse radar and side bumpers let you demonstrate your individuality easily."

With that car, you can feel free to drive like an idiot! Who needs a bumper car when you have a beauty leopard.

And look at the feature list:

Electric Rear Mirror (outside)
Central Locking
Electric Windows
Electric Adjustable Front Seat
Leather Seat
Characteristic Instrument Panel
DVD/VCD/CD/MP3
Cruise Control System
Semi-conductor Refrigerator
Adjustable Reading Lamp
Single Airbag for Driver
Back Up Radar
Electronic Anti-Theft Equipment
Rear Window Defroster

You get DVD/VCD player together with a fridge in a "sports" car so you can watch a DVD and have a beer while playing bumper car on the road. How considerable are they. Watch out hyundai, someone is about to take your place!

OMG! Looks like a BMW mated with a Golf ! And that rear spoiler, that's definitely Golf based. And if you squint really hard, the grill looks like it was patterned after a Kia.

Sorry for digging this old thread up... but I just read an article on autoweek.com:
http://www.autoweek.com/cat_content...._code=09772907

Apparently they're going to sell Geely cars in America!

"Geely's headquarters is in east China's Zhejiang province and the company is privately held. It makes sedans and hatchbacks priced from $3,860 to $10,260 at current exchange rates. It sold 80,000 cars in 2003 and expects to double sales this year."

Alien, you must be very excited then! Have you already contacted the importer when you could place an order for a Beauty Leopard, begging them to bring that model over as well? LOL

I'll be more excited if they're selling it in UK... so there's a new car for Jeremy to destroy in his new video

I was riding for a few weeks on a Geely 125cc bike...what a piece of crap...but at least runs...

I can't imagine a car made by the same people.

Director of Commercial Dept comparing the Uliou to the Yugo..... and basically he's saying Geely may export the Uliou to US as soon as later this year. Scary thought!

Well I must say its hardly surprising. European cars get cloned by chinese and japanese companies all the time. Sometimes you have to look twice to tell them apart!

Oh and if you thought the marketing blurb was funny, check this out:
