Dongfeng does Kia, Nissan, PSA Peugeot Citroen and Honda in China, but they have been recently focusing on developing their own brand as well. This is the Dongfeng Aeolus Fengshen sedan, and if you’re wondering if it’s basically an old recycled PSA or Honda chassis with a new skin, you’re right. Underneath all the metal is the old Citroen ZX, with power coming from a 105 horsepower 16 valve 1.6 litre PSA engine. The Fengshen is 4,502mm long, 1,740mm wide and 1,465mm tall with a 2,610mm wheelbase. The Fengshen will debut at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show this April.

Not bad, the front like Audi.
rear like kia forte
front grill ready to swallow small children..
hahhaha
decent design though
cool
the front look similar to kia forte/spectra 5, i think
wow.. amazing.. citroen ZX chassis.. the original ZX was a really decent car in its time.. but its a chassis that dates all the way back to 1990.
Nice design… Curious about the interior design…
the front looks like Saga BLM…
(just my sight and opinion)
honestly, it's look not bad. if it is under T, H or N emblems, it should sell well. But, it is a D… So, bad.
Brand loyalty is important..
It's very hard to praise a Chinese brand. Huhuhu!
Nice look.
the big mouth looks like the crysler …
Not bad nice looking outside body seems solid. How about inside panels design ? ABS and other smart gargets etc.. Equally important the price and availablity of spare parts and after sales service. In the first place will it be introduce to Malaysian Market ?
the zx platform is very good, good comfort plus great handling..
sounds like dogshit !
actually the whole car looks similar to the Saga BLM…

i think saga blm more nice and cool than this…. look refresh even sudah 1 tahun at market
it looks nothing like the ZX that we have in Malaysia.
hehe, somehow I do feel that the front looks like the new Hyundai Accent. Just my two cents
Well done to those Chinese. Good job for the face and butt. Somehow it look out of place for that Citroen based body. Looking odd.
Hate the front. Period! Others are pleasing. Wth is wrong with cars in china, big front grills? The other big front grill is the proton that gets sent to china!
Do they need such big front grill there because of their polluted air?
All chinese cars have ugly name.

proton can sell in china and sum1 is willing to buy because they put Lotus brand there,if put proton..i think the sells will drop for sure..
With the ZX chasis, it will put a lot of new cars in the same class to shame in terms of handling and comfort. Don't mind buying one if on sale here.
