chenc544 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 This is too much... Besides, Li is not a Japanese last name, it's Chinese. In fact Lee is a proper spelling of a Chinese last name anyway. This car makes no sense in so many levels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you except that many Chinese from mainland China spell that last name "Li" because of their phonetic (pinyin) system differs from that used by Chinese people from Taiwan, Hong Kong, Vietnam, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dukes of Hazard's car is the inspiration for this "General Li". The name of the car in Dukes of Harzard is "General Lee". Since Lee is already the spelling of a Chinese name there is no reason to make it Li. I wasn't saying that Lee is the proper spelling of Li.

I just think it makes no sense to use the Li/Lee word play. It would have been more clever to call it General Lee but use one of those fake Asian font types for Lee.

CTlegacy06 Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 ...In every episode the General Li gets out of trouble by drifting around a narrow mountain pass while who ever is following falls of the cliffs... Can't wait until someone comes out with the General Lee VanSteinichse... a Mercedes with a Swastika on the roof... Or simply the General Vee and use a Vdub instead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IwannaSportSedan Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 The rising sun on the roof might have looked cooler with the version with the red rays, but I am not sure what the implication of the different flags are. It also needs Ro-Jas with more radial spokes, to look like the General's mags. And the horizontal tail lights, and panel between them should be blacked out, like the Charger's. And a bull bar coming out of the gaping maw on the front might be cool too. At least some CF stick on winglets on the sides, or something to add black extraneous stuff to the front. I know bright red seats are all the rage, but black seats with orange details and center panels might have looked a bit better. And a beefy black roll hoop with side intrusion bars. Weld the doors shut, and have the targa roof hinged and also removeable to be the only way in or out of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penguin Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 1.) That car is F-ing retarded. 2.) It seems that Asian car tuners are as incapable of original ideas as Asian car makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
