Sexy China

I’m a bit astonished.

China if you happen not to know is considered as the world’s largest country when it comes to population count. With more than 1.3 billion people, who would have thought that they were not able to create a single good looking car? With all those people, its amazing how not a single one of them were able to make a good looking car.

In view of this, my attention was drawn over the blog which I am currently reading right now. China has now their very own Geely Tiger GT which is the first sexy and cool car to ever come from a Chinese car manufacturer. It was released during the 2008 Beijing Auto Show which amazingly gained a lot of supporter and eventually became the star of the night against its competitors which includes Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Porsche.

Here is the quote about the vehicle I found at the site.

As for performance, it is rumored to be powered by a 3.5 liter V-6 engine that produces 225 horsepower and 340 pound-feet torque. Again, no concrete details but it’s supposed to have a 0-60 mph time in about 5.5 seconds, and a final top speed of around 155. Not too impressive performance-wise, but it’s the styling that blows crowds away.

The Tiger, however, is a car I would be proud to own, and if its styling is any indication, then I think that China could make its mark on the auto industry yet.
