What Geely has produced with Volvo's input - Geely GC9

[Alheych]

While we weren't looking, Geely has come up with its next generation of products, developed with Volvo's input.

 

This year, the Geely GC9 is being launched. The result is quite remarkable.

 

Although things like reliability and build quality can't really be told through pictures, signs like panel gaps and plastic quality can be told. I think this is a quantum leap over the Geely CK which Singaporeans' understanding of Geely has stopped at.

Nice Y spoke rims. Very sporty.

Might have seen similar on a Ford previously, but still a nice touch!

Good for tailgating road hoggers in overtaking lane.

 

After the road hogging driver looks your grille for 5 secs in the rear view mirror, he will be hypnotized, use a loudhailer and tell him,"You want to move over the the left lane and stop using the overtaking lane from today. Tomorrow, you will sell your car and commute by train or bus but not bicycles."

you would not have been able to as the designer would have made you stare into the grille then hypnotise you to not just let him remain in the company but also give him a 100% pay raise.

The front grille looks like a black hole, ready to suck in every cent the investors can throw at the company. The 2 Swedish car companies are well known to be sold to the next fool investor for cheaper and cheaper prices....
