There was a Geely getting around that was confused for a Ford, but this doesn't sound like it.

Exactly what I saw last week on East Melbourne. Camo'd LHD Ford sedan, medium not Falcon sized.

Also saw a LHD Holden 'Chev' SS sedan in Ringwood yesterday, strange as the VF and Chev have been out a while.

The car in the pic looks to be RHD if that means anything .. If it was only for China wouldn't it just be developed in LHD?

Very "curvy" by the look of the tight covering on the rear.

Wonder what it is?
