Geely Englon SC7 and SX6: Bentley SUV Cloned

They say that imitation is the mother of all flattery, but we don’t think Bentley is feeling it right now. On the same show floor that houses their brand new EXP 9 F concept they worked so hard on (to get it wrong), Chinse automaker Geely unveiled three concepts that offer a familiar grille and headlight combo.

First, there’s the Geely Englon SC7 concepts, the RV hatchback and the RS sedan.

They are supposed to be studies for a replacement London Cab, but all we see are Bentley wheelarches, headlights and foglights.

Before acquiring Volvo, Geely purchased some shares in London Taxi manufacturers Manganese Bronze Holding PLC. We’ll let these slide for now, because the iconic black cab has round headlights. But the SX5 crossover/SUV is a definite no-no copycat in our opinion.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s.
