Li Nian Roadster concept at Guangzhou 2008
This drop top roadster was exhibited by Guangzhou Honda at the 2008 Guangzhou Motor Show, perhaps their idea of a next generation Honda S2000. Apparently it’s a pure design exercise for the time being, with no immediate plans to put such a vehicle into production under the company’s own Li Nian home-grown brand. There’s only one other Li Nian concept car so far, a compact crossover SUV unveiled in April this year. That one’s going to make it into production, set for a 2010 debut.
Look after the jump for a couple more shots of the concept.

It looks like the car is crying. From the rear, its more scarier; its blood tears. LoL!
However, the overall design is nice. The front reminds me of Vauxhall roadster.

the grill might looks resembles to the gtr , but c’mon it isn’t a true copy cat like the previous china made .

Xx- Ferrari -xX won’t trust any brand made in China, most likely except his own prancing horse… Sounds pathetic or just downright emotional…

Face the fact, people are far more advance than us and get all the attention from all major car manufacturer (VW, Audi, BMW, Honda, you name it). And we are still laughing at them and SIOK SENDIRI.
