Think a little... the first comment is more real then the others.
Yeah the chineses are all imitations, but u see, they going very well because, this imitations have more quality then the chinese cars u see in net. this is cool hope they can do cool cars, chip, secure, and with quality. ok ok i ask for to much.

its obviously a copy of the opel/vauxhall insignia, from the shape of the headlight to the indicator light inside from the pics released a month ago, the shape of the grill is the very similar including the shape of the crome trim to the badge in the middle. At the rear i agree it is very c5. the chineese really do need to find there own design language, but remeber it took japan a long time to crack it as well.

not really a clone if you consider their manufacturing budget limit and ability. Is just a very plain ordinary car.

To me, the front end seems to scream VW with the resessed V shaped grill and the headlights look like they're straight from the Eos. I also see the elements of Opel Insignia with strong Citroen and Mitsubishi influence at the rear.
It's not overly hard to create a new design for a car! Hyundai/Kia started out reskinning existing Mitsubishi-based mechanicals and from that have become a top 10 automaker, even India's TATA Motors are ahead by having unique designs (especially evident with the Nano and their concept cars)
Come on China, lift your game!

Frankly they both look euro-generic. Can't SOMEONE come up with something more interesting?
