They're planning to update it. I like it, even If it's a bit too rolls-royce. This is also planning to be sold as a super-posh, but relatively cheap alternative to MB and BMW. The name will be YinLun Di Hua, which translates to "British Splendor".

I like how they've intergrated the modern headlights into the traditional shape of the car.  The side profile seems to look okay and the wheels were obviously cribbed from the Rolls Royce Phantom.  Too bad the rear looks like it has a case of elephantitis.  Will this actually be the replacement for LTI's current taxi or it this exclusivly for the Chinese market?

It looks like just a civilian version of a commercial vehicle, not a bad idea.
2. 1995 Saturn SL2 5-speed, 126,500 miles. 5,000 miles in two and a half months. That works out to 24,000 miles per year if I can keep up the pace.

I don't care about all that shit.  I'll be going to college to get an education at a cost to my parents.  I'm not going to fool around.

She'll hate diesel passenger cars, all things Ford, and fiat currency.  They will masturbate to old interviews of Ayn Rand an youtube together.

If I'm right, it'll be a sister model. This version will be better equipped and more luxuriant inside.
