This little beauty is a Geely Pride HQ7130B1U, a small wagon complete with a factory roof rack and sporty wheels. The good Geely was in fine shape inside and out, and was clearly still used as a daily driver.
This is a Dilong DL350-A, a new low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV) from China. It has four doors, four seats, roof rails, and a trendy Volkswagen-inspired design at the nose.
A silver Honda Civic sedan, seen in the far north of Beijing, the capital of China. The good Honda was in need of some work but seemed in fine overall shape.
A silver Opel Astra hatchback, seen on a bridge in Wangjing district in Beijing. The third generation Opel Astra ‘H’ was made from 2004 until 2009 with a small facelift in 2006. Our Beijing car is a pre-facelift example.
A slightly overloaded flatbed truck, seen near the Fifth Ring Road in Beijing. The truck is loaded with wood and was likely headed for a recycling facility.
A beautiful BMW Z4 3.0 si roadster, painted in white with a black top. She is looking speedy with lowered suspension, a black grille, a racy bumper, and big wide wheels with gold alloys.
It is summer in Beijing, so we need a convertible to cruise through the traffic jams. Happily, here we have one: a very clean first-generation Chrysler Sebring, painted in gold with a beige top.
A rough ‘n rugged Toyota Land Cruiser J60, seen on a car market in Beijing. The old ‘Cruiser looked somewhat sad and was seemingly abandoned, covered with a thick layer of dust.
This little red beauty is not a Jeep. This instead is a Jinpeng X5, not to be confused with the BMW X5. The Jinpeng X5 is a low-speed electric vehicle (LSEV), a very popular segment in China at the moment.
