by **B1NZ** » Sat Feb 28, 2009 8:39 am

Corolla of some description? But almost looks like a square version of a merc but with a FWD engine??

My first guess was a 2002ish civic, but that motors just not right.

The back lights also remind me of a holden vectra.

I think its a new chinese car.

The badge in the the top right of that pic is all over the engine bay and that pic came up when I searched chinese car makes on google.
Plus there's chinese writing on the the rubber hoses

First guess was a 4AFE tappet cover, but it's not,
not even a toyota I don't think,
as it doesn't have the jap style efi connector plugs etc etc.

If I could read the numbers off the map sensor at the back of the pic,
i could probably tell you the make model and approximate year,
but cant quite make them out.

something korean?

by **thegreatestben** » Sat Feb 28, 2009 9:48 am

It's a Geely CK1

Can Toyota sue their asses off for copying? They certainly blatantly copied a lot of stuff of a corolla.
Another piece of shit form china.
Actually coffin on the wheels, if you have seen the crash tests of these you will understand, a lot worse than lada.
They showed the factory and workers on Discovery, it is appalling.
Smart Chinese buy Japanese cars in China.

That's the one.

Total clone of a ten year old car much?

About to hit the market in NZ now.

I bet it will not even have 1 star in crash test:

You gotta be stupid to drive this.

I would love to see pictures of that thing on the hoist.... I have read somewhere they have no rails underneath.

They're going to have to meet some standards otherwise they wont be allowed into the country surely

by **Lloyd** » Sat Feb 28, 2009 10:38 am

And worse crash: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5SRyG6U ... re=related

Yes, it just barely meets the minimum standards required. So it's likely safer than the average mid 1980's car. Probably.
