Again, these are and have been on the streets of Chongqing for a little while now. But then again they are made here so that may not be a surprise. They look pretty good, maybe a first for Chinese car with decent design that non Chinese could get on board with. Now if we could just figure out how to say Eado.
Pretty neat…hatches are getting awesome these days
They seriously need to change the logo. They are not channeling Acura here.
