Paul Tan on the Automotive Industry
Guangzhou Automobile will be developing a new large sedan using the platform of the Alfa Romeo 166, fully licensed and paid for of course.
The 166 has just been discontinued in spring last year, and rumours are that its replacement could return to a rear wheel drive format.
The 166 was a front engined front wheel drive car with double wishbones at the front and a multi-link setup at the rear. The Guangzhou Automobile car to be based on its platform will be styled by Bertone.

Recycling plan?
Well, it’s a good chassis, should age well. If Bertone styles it nicely, it’ll be sweet. But in the end its quality must be at least decent.
