    Geely Meirenbao II concept

    For the Hide-Out

    (from Geely Press Release) Geely Meirenbao II

    The design motivation for Geely Coupe is to show the nimble and sturdy image of highly aggressive beasts in our minds. It has optimized the plumpness lacked in the existing models; meanwhile, it also integrates lines and surfaces with sharpness to distinguish the features of a racing car, thus strengthening the full figure of wheel house and fender to build a steady shape. You can feel the strong aggressiveness of beast from the shape of front headlamp and grid, and the ultra speed expressed by the streamlines of rear lamp and bumper.

    My favorite color is chrome.

    Perhaps the nicest thing that can be said about it is that at least it's not a blatant rip-off of another company's design.

    Well it's not a bad start. My issues with the car are too much plastic in the front, the badge is completely overdone and the 3/4 angle shot shows how at the read the windhsield sort of angles abruptly rather then flowing smoothly through to the back.

    Yep, one might even say that the nose has a quite sophisticated interpretation of Alfa Romeo 159 theme....

    That's because most people (Chris Bangle excepted) wouldn't be able to produce something that hideous...

    Not thay bad looking fot me, i'd still like to see it with the licence plate on, i guess the front needs to be less flat, but good ideia overall.

    I believe the Hideout doesn't put everycar here right? Can we remove it to not lower the overall UCP's Hideout.

    I believe Matt had a reason to not do this car here.... or haven't, most probably wouldn't wanna.

    Should we remove cars like the Porsche Cayenne and the Audi Q7, then?

    The hide-out is for every car, regardless of how ugly you might think it is.
    Audi humbles Porsche. A new dawn starts today.

    Being nice since 2007.

    Looks a bit like a deformed Nissan Skyline GT-R
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
