This is an Honqgi CA7200, a Chinese sedan based on the Audi 100. I saw this great vehicle back in 2012 in Beijing. It was a little dusty, but in those days, everything was. Otherwise, the CA7200 looked great for its age.

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.
