Brilliance FRV

This new little Crossover from China is looking really nice.
It doesn’t look much bigger than a Mazda3, at least on these pictures. And the engine is a small 1.6 Liter.
No other news yet.
With Saturn’s distribution network up for brags, I wonder if something like that would work in the US. As a Saturn.
What do you think???
How is the crash test situation with these.
I still vision the Brilliance BS6.
Who could forget that.
Looks nice but I wonder if the technic and reliability is as fine as well.
Why badge it with the “looser” brand of Saturn/GM? It’s a good idea to use the well profiled Saturn dealership which has a good reputation – but fill the showrooms with better cars. Or it will fail again…
It’s not the brand – it’s quality that counts!
I also think this looks quite good. Though the doors look much like the doors of the Opel (Saturn) Astra 5-door.
Not so Brilliant.
This is not really a new design. It’s just a offroady version (like the Rover Streetwise or the Audi Allroad) of the BS2, which went on sale last year, and which at 4.21 m is in fact in the same segment as the Mazda 3, VW Golf, etc. Personally I find the styling of this car far too derivative (it looks like a cross between the Chevrolet/Daewoo Lacetti and the Opel Astra) but at least it looks decent and, from the outside at least, also looks decently built, unlike other chinese cars I’ve had a close look at.
It looks really good and is not boring like most of the designs from Toyota, Hyundai and Honda. Has some BMW lines in the sheetmetal.
I don’t think any of us should buy cars from the world’s largest police state…not that we have much choice with the smaller consumer items, but still, until they free their people, why should we support their extremely oppressive government?
Looks good! How??? Seat front, Suzuki SX4 bumpers, Daewoo taillights, Rover Streetwise shape, bits of Astra and BMW everywhere. When will the Chinese learn to create their own designs and make them nice?
I don’t think this looks like a quality automobile at all. The profile is that of a FX and the rest just looks disproportionate.
Chinese cars, and their products will be a joke for at least another ten years.

I couldn’t agree any more. Supporting China is like supporting everything that America and the rest of the free world stands against.
The politics of the issue could be discussed until you are red in the face.
Unfortunately people buy on price these days. So if its cheap, prople will buy them.
It does look nice. It’s almost scary – it seems the Chinese are designing better looking cars than Toyota and Honda, not mention Ford and Chrysler. GM on the other hand has really stepped up its game in the deign department.
I agree with you, Vince, there is a chance that a Chinese automaker would buy Saturn, how ever small this chance is.
YOU two are the most ignorance Jack!!! so why are you buying Japanese made car when they bomb the shit out of the Pearl Harbor and so on???
Wake up dude!!! people buy cars based on the “price + quality” factor, thats why no one wants to buy those junks from GM/FORD/Chrysler no more, instead of buying Japanese and German product.

What do you think America stands for? America sure as hell isn’t much better than China these days. Get that flag out of your eyes and look at your nation, and you might see it as you have allowed it to become with your apathy and over-confidence.
