Question Introducing the new RR Phant...I mean Geely GE.

The Geely GE is how you say "Um... really?"


Just like some folks in the U.S. buy the Chrysler 300C for its supposed resemblance to more expensive machinery, Geely has designed a faux Phantom for the Chinese market. The 17.5-foot long executive mover comes loaded for bear, with isolation glass and wool carpet just like a real Rolls-Royce.

If you're interested, you better like traveling alone – the rear compartment has one center-mounted seat tucked between a contoured bulkhead, like a throne. It even has what appears to be a starlight headliner, but only above the emperor's chair. According to the Chinese site, when compared to the Phantom, the Geely GE "gives the very same feeling of luxury." It might even come with a scepter. Check out the gallery of photos below, and then let us know how to say "Wow..." in Chinese.

If i had a limo like the Phantom (or the faux pas Phantom), I would need a bench as my rear seat, in case I wanted my hot gold digger wife to service me... guess the person who designed this rear didnt think of that or the chinese still beleive that in this day and age, the owner would have his minions pull into the red light district to get a happy ending. At least the folks at Geely are thinking about the economy
