Beijing 2008 Live: Great Wall Phenom i7

Great_wall_phenom_ling_ao_i7 Great Wall has displayed the Phenom i7 at the Beijing Motor Show. The small car takes its styling cues from the Toyota Yaris.

While some Chinese carmakers makes the jump to acquire strategic skills to design unique cars, Great Wall still belongs to the group which copies the Western models without a shame. After the Peri which copied the Fiat Panda, the Phenom i7 copies the Toyota Yaris.
