Chevrolet Teases The FNR-X Concept For The Shanghai Auto Show

April 7, 2017 by Joey Wang

General Motors has released official pictures and specifications of the upcoming Chevrolet FNR-X, a new concept car for the Shanghai Auto Show. The FNR-X previews a sporty SUV with a Camaro nose. It will be a plug-in hybrid with four-wheel drive.

Most interestingly, the concept is also equipped with a system that can change the driving mode of the car depending on the mood of the driver. So if the driver comes in and the sensors see he is pissed like hell they can switch on the most racy chassis and engines modes to get him in a better mood.

The eventual production version will be made in China by Shanghai-GM and likely be positioned between the Captiva and the Equinox.

FNR stands for Find New Roads. The meaning of the X is unknown. The FNR name, without the X, was first used for a crazy Chevrolet concept in 2015.

A perfectly fine Chevrolet Lumina APV, Spotted in China near a car market in west Beijing. The good Chevy was sadly abandoned, covered in thick layers of dust and dirt.

Chevrolet Aims At Senile Car Buyers With Lova RV-Mickey Edition

December 19, 2016 by Joey Wang

Chevrolet is aiming at senile car buyers to push up sales of their slow-selling almost-antique Lova RV hatchback-wagon thing. Meet the new… Lova RV-Mickey Edition, with a – between RV and Mickey.

This ain’t some fuzzy dealer special or an after-market screw up, this is a real factory-special edition. It was ‘developed’ with Disney China but strangely there doesn’t seem to be a connection with Shanghai Disneyland, which would have made some sense because the Lova RV is made in Shanghai by Shanghai-GM.

Chevrolet To Sell Pickup Trucks In China Unless Donald Trump Spoils The Party

November 21, 2016 by Joey Wang

General Motors hasn’t marketed these trucks before because it wanted to be seen as a responsible green company by the Chinese government, and selling gas guzzling pickup trucks didn’t fit that image.
