About China's Coolest Cars
A BMW 728iL sedan, seen in Beijing back in 2010. The big Bimmer was in a great shape and wrapped in a tasty smurf blue wrap. An unusual choice of color for a big BMW but the result is pretty good.
The white detailing on the mirrors, air vents, and door handles is a nice idea as well. The wrapper did a great job, it looks neat and tight, almost as if it was painted in smurf blue. The beige leather interior is a good contrast with the blue exterior.
A brand new Ford Territory, seen on a cold day in Beijing in January 2020. The Ford looked nice in white but it really needs a set of larger wheels. The Ford Territory is a China-only compact SUV, launched in 2018.

A very pretty Chery QQ3, seen in Beijing back in 2010. The good QQ3 was in perfect shape and looked ultra clean. In the early QQ years, Chery offered several funky colors on the QQ3, like bright red and this great froggy green.
A pretty blue Dongfeng DFAC truck carrying a very heavy load of discarded carton, seen in the far east of Beijing back in 2016. The load is so heavy indeed that the truck almost seemed to break. Check the position and angle of the rear wheel! DFAC stands for Dongfeng Automobile Corporation, a major Chinese truck maker and a subsidiary of Dongfeng Motor.

A Nanjing NJ1020 Unique van, seen in the great city of Guangzhou, capital of China’s Guangdong Province, in 2015. The fine old van was in a good shape, painted in factory green , and fitted with decidedly non-factory wide tires and shiny gold alloys.
Yes, really everything goes on the highway in China, like this enormous truck seen on the mighty 5th Ring Road in Beijing. The truck was totally and dangerously overloaded with discarded carton, and likely on its way to a recycling facility.
