Not too bad...until it showed the front...

 

[homeofstone]

Front = bad

 

[Ruissimo]

Back: Nice
Side Profile: Nice
Fake "vents": WHY!?!??!?!
Front: Okay... but screams BMW, doesn't it?

I know our cars are all a bit derivative... but that's a bit much for my taste. Still... looks a little bigger than the Genny, and I'm sure there's a market for it.

Hi Sal... official pics are up - click for more:

Front: Okay... but screams BMW, doesn't it?.

Absolutely, and this is a HUGE screw up IMO. This bad of a copy cat is what totally dogs on a manufacturers attempts.

This sort of COPY is the kind of thing the China joke car companies do with their blatant copies. That Geely company or whatever they are called.

Shameful copy. Evil design studios! Next thing we know, Mercedes will be ripping off the style of our front grilles.

Ha ha - I sold something that looked just like that! LOL

 

[YEH]

Here are some live shots.

Comparison of the fronts of the K9 and the BMW GT.

Not really the same.

The K9 has the same basic grill shape as the new cee'd; it's the vertical slats that are throwing everyone off.

I'm also seeing more side profile pictures that look a LOT less like a 7-Series (or the K9 we're seeing here). So I don't know what to think yet. I think in real life, this car will look a lot less like a 750i. In any event, it looks like a nice car that will allow people who aren't wealthy to drive an automobile that makes them feel that way.
