A Ford Mondeo sedan, seen at a car market in east Beijing on a hot summer day. The Mondeo is normally a rather mundane sedan but this one was not. It was wrapped in a shiny blue wrap and sexed up even further with darkened windows, wide tires, and 5-spoke alloy wheels.

A gold-colored BYD Flyer, seen in China in 2016. The flyer was in fine shape, the paint was still all right, and the original BYD logo was on the grille. The sporty twin-five-spoke alloy wheels were standard. Before BYD became the world’s largest NEV maker, it didn’t make cars at all. Until 2003, BYD was just a battery maker.

A Chevrolet Corsica LT sedan, as seen in the Chinese capital Beijing back in 2016. The good Chevy was in reasonable shape and still in use. It was dusty but otherwise all right, painted in a classy shade of wine red.
