Talking Butt Ugly !!?





Chinese carmaker DongFeng introduced its D120 sports car at the Beijing show Saturday. The two-door apparently was created by mating a Solstice with a streeted-up Tiburon and has a 137-hp, 2.4-liter engine. The rear wing's height is adjustable, apparently by way of an old-fashioned bellows-type device, or else the D120 has a built in accordian underneath its rear hatch. That's the most we can say with much confidence. The Autoblog Chinese post, translated by Google, is somewhat hard to understand. Here's an example of some of its description after translation. Feel free to help us make sense of it...

"Safety, equipped with SRS airbag, a double-door antitrapping tightening belts and electric windows; Comfort. CD system with eight-inch LCD super, and after stretching, swinging around from top to bottom; cars are also equipped with the tail depends on probe Ergonomics with leather chairs, prudent elegance; top electric car with a sunroof and adjustable shading plate antitrapping Spoiler body and tail support ring smoother transition."

Not so sure we want our next car to have "probe Ergonomics."

Butt-ugly? You're right. The butt IS ugly..........the front end, not too bad.

I like the paint job on it, though....it appears to be very well-done.

"Safety, includes not 1, not 2, but 3 side blinkers for the extra protection so other drivers know that you're merging into their lane without having the driver to look where they're going"

Oh BTW, "HOLY BUTT-UGLY BATMAN!"

Is there a larger picture of the emblem? I can't really tell what it looks like.

Oh my... lol I dont know about mating a Tiburon and Solstice but maybe something more along the lines of mutated rear ended Tiburon/Solstice. This car is just hideous. Think anyone will buy it?

So that's the kind of original design a Chinese car maker can come up with when it decides to stop copying for a nanosecond.

The number one selling car among accordion musicians. If you blow into the tailpipe and push on that wing you can play "Doe a deer a female deer....."

I was thinking "Lady of Spain" . . .

Shaving that huge badge of the nose would reduce the "third-eye" alien look. Suddenly Chris Bangle doesn't look so bad. Think he has a deal with Dong Feng to improve his image among auto stylists?
