Last year Geely stole the show in Beijing with its long and lean GT concept. It was over the top in many ways, but at least it was an original design.
This year, the GT is back, but it's flowing lines have been interrupted by the realities of production. There's a full interior this time around and a much larger greenhouse to open up more passenger room. Unfortunately, the new shape makes the car look awkward and unfinished. If Geely wants to make a name for itself with a flagship coupe, it's going to have to channel a little more of the concept into the finished product.

The car has nice curves, a handsome logo, and a larger greehnouse - all good stuff. The grill could easily be simpler, so as to not confuse and distract from the other styling elements.

The wheels look a little small, but that might just be me being used to 19s.

If you ignore the nose, it's not a bad looking car.

If you close your eyes, it's not a bad looking car.

That geely is such a lovely car until you see it's face! Plastic surgery suddenly seems justifiable!

"Looks like an Acura concept."
Why did you have to offend Geely like that? I mean I've heard some pretty bad comments about styling but this one just crossed the line. Completely inappropriate.
You get your first warning mister.
