Geely Fengyin Concept: Chinese take a wrong turn at Aztek

Our colleagues at Autoblog Chinese caught this concept from Geely called the Fengyin hanging out by the curb. It reminds us of exactly what a fifth-grader would produce were he given a Pontiac Aztek and an unlimited budget. The exterior design gives us paper cuts just looking at it, and the interior is, well, not finished we hope. The boys report back that the Fengyin does have a couple tricks it performs, like voice-activated door opening. Considering the state of the interior, however, we'd be screaming at the car to keep its scissor doors down. Believe it or not, this concept's going to be on Geely's main stage at the Beijing Motor Show soon.
More pics, if you dare, can be viewed after the jump.

That thing is 11 different kinds of ugly.

The weird front end isn't much worse that the new Lincoln SUV (Navigator or whatever it's called).

No wonder the Chinese copy everyone elses car designs! If this is the best they can muster, I don't believe they will make big strides in America quickly.

So much for Chinese cars coming to the USA.

At the rear, it looks like some 3-d dev program trying to render a Ford Ka with too few polygons. The front looks like it belongs back in the Hot Wheels blister package.

Design strategy:
Roll an Aztek down the tacky aisle with the crap magnet on.

Looks like a turd envisioned during picasso's cubist period.

Is there a shortage of curved angles in China?

It is definitely ugly. I will give them credit for trying to do something original as I imagine it must be tough to create a Chinese automotive design language from scratch. They will figure it out, but this is not going anywhere.

For looking like that it had better come with a rocket launcher or better....

It was probably designed to be invisible to radar.

Holy shit. I didn't think it possible to make anything this ugly. The only ways to make it worse would be to put Courtney Love in it.

#15 You're so right. We'll probably see the US Military running around Iraqi deserts in these things. Not that "insurgents" have radars or hi-tech guided missiles but I guess we could just look for the wet spots in the sand where they pissed themseves in horror at the mere sight.

At first I was going to ask whether this was a prop for the upcoming Transformers movie!
The car looks like what a Nissan Murano "paper model" would look like, if you were only allowed creases and no smooth bends.
The steering wheel looks so low on that one, that it would have to project outwards at a bus-like angle. Come to think of it, maybe they should just call this "the bus."
