SHANGHAI — Geely is planning to make as big a splash at the 2009 Shanghai Auto Show as it did at last year's Beijing show. To support its ambitious plan, the automaker is planning to introduce three new brands, supported by 20 new concept and production models.
One of the most interesting is the Geely GT, an update of last year's Beijing concept of the same name. The latest version of the GT (said to stand for "Geely Tiger") features scissors-style doors and a full interior. Official-looking images of the Shanghai car have been widely circulated on the Internet in China.
The GT wears the new black-and-red-checkered shield logo of the Emgrand or Imperial (Dihao) brand, which will be used on larger, sportier and more expensive models that Geely plans to bring to market over the next few years.
Inside Line says: The pre-show buzz is already beginning to build around Geely. — Hu Lei, Correspondent
