About China's Coolest Cars
A Guangzhou Auto Trumpchi GA5, seen in Beijing in early 2011, on a cold winter’s day. At the time, the Trumpchi GA5 was brand new and yet ultra rare, much rarer indeed than the two Nissan Bluebird sedans in the background.

An arty farty Volvo C30, seen in front of Volvo shop in Sanlitun embassy district in 2011. The good, or perhaps poor, Volvo was wrapped in a very bright and colorful wrap, looking like a real art car. The bonnet is very busy with a sea and a sun and a sky.

A Mitsubishi 3000GT sporty car, seen in the great city of Xiamen in Fujian Province by Pinut187 in 2013, thank you for the pictures! The 3000GT was very dirty and dusty but in a good general shape. All it needed was some love and a good cleanup.
