Each design has their own identity of the country. As for me, the design is very moderate. And of course they should overcome the perception of build quality issue.... not to say performance, reliability, handling etc. At a glance, very typical and you can immediately know this is china made car, just like the korean, japanese, german or even malaysia marque.

Problem is those china brands that enter malaysia, what happened to all of them now? so senyap. No one wants to buy china cheap car cause resale value suck and build quality is questionable. saga is better, but china is learning fast, and this thing looks ok la.

In Malaysia where can get it ? Of course, we must read the full technical Spectfications and the test drive report. However, overall it looks impressive. Hope in the near future the cars are available in Malaysia. Sorry, first comment in hurry. 1.5 litre engine from mitsubishi 4G15 with 2 air bags new car price very attractive.
