Guangben Linia Coupe

China is usually copying the car designs of the rest of the world, but this is different. Honda worldwide should take a look at what its Chinese subsidiary Guanhzhou-Honda has cooked up.

Guangben Linia Coupe was unveiled this week at the 2008 Guangzhou Auto Show in China. With its small stance, low font end, high doorline, twin-cowl boot cover and "slasher" style headlights, this is where the going-stale S2000 could learn a few lessons. Then again, not much is known about the technical details of this car, so there may be a lot of S2000 bits in disguise.

The only thing wrong with this car is the name. Guanhzhou-Honda has put "Coupe" in the car’s name, yet we haven’t even seen if there is a top available for this roadster.
