About China's Coolest Cars
A second generation Toyota Zelas, seen in north Beijing in December 2019. The good Toyota was a bit dirty, but basically every car is dirty in the Beijing winter, when roads are covered with a dusty kind of snowy mud.

A Chysler Sebring Touring convertible, seen in the north of the Chinese capital Beijing in 2020. The pretty American cabriolet was in a very good shape, painted in dark red with a back top, a black grille, darkened windows, and a set of sporty after-market alloy wheels.
A sixth generation Mitsubishi Galant sedan, seen in the great city of Hohhot, capital of Inner Mongolia, by Friend of the Site Fa1rrhaven Zhou, thank you for the photos! The good Galant was in a reasonable shape but appeared to be abandoned.

A Rolls-Royce Phantom super luxury car, seen in the Lido area in Beijing in 2016. The giant Roller was painted in black with a dark silver grille, a red-orange stripe on the side, and a totally red leather interior.
Note the Element Fresh restaurant in the background. They had a small restaurant chain, hugely popular in the mid- and late 2000’s, with ‘healthy’ sandwiches and such more nonsense. They filed for bankruptcy in late 2021. Too bad for the owners but I won’t miss them for a minute. Gimme pizza!

A speedy Audi R8 V10, parked at the rear entrance of my old apartment building in central Beijing in 2011. The Audi looked brilliant in blue, and even better was the 京G·K8888 license plates. Eight is a lucky number in Chinese culture, and it matches nicely with R8. The owner has to be a lucky guy! Note the great Wall Voleex C30 in the background, on the right.

A beautiful black Geely Meirenbao sports car, seen in Beijing in 2011. The great Meirenbao was in a great shape, looking almost as new, painted in black with the original alloy wheels. The car was fitted with a racy after-market body kit and a fake air intake on the bonnet.
A very pretty Opel Vectra CD 2.0 16V sedan, seen in the south of the Chinese capital Beijing in 2015. The good Vectra was painted in an incredible cool shade of red, which was a factory color when the Vectra was new. The five-spoke alloy wheels are original too and give the otherwise not overly exciting sedan a decidedly sporty look.
