Geely LG-1 Sedan: Coming Soon to a Country Near You

Fresh from making international headlines at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit, China's Geely is readying its next-generation sedan, the LG-1.

The LG-1 joins another Geely sedan called the FC-1, which was exhibited at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September along with four other Geely models. The LG-1 will not be shown until later this year, although a photo leaked by a Chinese Web site shows it looks like the Toyota Vios, a Corolla-based sedan for Asia markets including China. According to Chinese media sources, the new LG-1 will have a length of 170.9 inches and will be powered by a 1.6-liter engine.

Li Shufu, Geely's ambitious leader, would like to see Geely produce 200,000 cars per year and says he intends to follow an aggressive export policy.
