From the doors back is CLEARLY an RD Tiburon. What the hell? Also in the front bumper there are RD2 foglights/marker lights! Um...

I agree, hell the roof and almost the A-pillars look like RD parts. Would be helpful if we had another angle or two...

It was an RD2 at one point for sure. Sunroof, windows, pillars. All RD. Weird

Check out the car in primer in the back. Looks like the rear of the rd2.

Seems they got a rd and stuck a ton of stuff on it.

Anyways, this new Dongfeng comes with a 2.4 litre engine, electric windows and all the other refineries that you would expect in a car of its class. No word on its price as of yet but China Car Times can guess at 100,000RMB to 130,000RMB price range,

2.4 litre? Any if my math is right 130,000 RMB is about 20K Dollars.

So get a 5 yr old car slap some bondo on it and some other stuff and charge 20 thou? lmao.gif
