Carspotting, Cuba edition: Geely Emgrand EC718

Matty over at Crasstalk took an educational trip to Cuba and shared a DropBox full of car pictures with me. I'm going to need your help identifying 95% of the cars and trucks, as they are mostly 1950s American, old Soviet, and Polish.

Here is a car that I didn't even know existed 15 minutes ago. It's an Emgrand. From a quick Wiki search, it:

  • is made in China, Uruguay, and Iraq(!);
  • is the first Chinese-designed car to pass Euro NCAP tests;
  • is supposedly on sale in the UK (is that true?).

I can't tell what this car is a copy of. A stretched Corolla? The badge reminds me of the new Cadillac logo. The T stands for "tourist" so it's probably a rental.


It doesn't seem terrible. Here is a review, in Russian?
