Borgward BX7

[Carbon82]

If you have not heard of this German brand, you are not alone. But if you make a quick search on the web, once Germany's third-largest car maker, does have some iconic model half a decade back.

 

The German car maker unveiled its first model for 54 years, the BX7 SUV, at the recent Frankfurt Auto Show. The company, which is based in Stuttgart and backed by Chinese commercial-vehicle manufacturer, Beiqi Foton, tragets sales of more than 500,000nautos in the "medium terms", COE Ulrich Walker said in an interview. The company plans to launch sales with the midsize SUV, before adding 2 smaller SUVs, a sedan and a van.

That big grille is kind of ugly to me, but the rest of the car looks nice, if a bit non-descript in today's relative terms.

[Hamburger]

The grille and it history somewhat remind of Skoda...

I knew I'd seen that roofline and window profile before. The Borgward has a unique downward kink in the lower side character line however.

Backed by Foton... Took a quick look Foton site and there was a bunch which looks kinda similar to Actros/Hino/Toyota vehicles and even a Kia-ish lorry.

 

Anyway....

Someone is already playing with the grill design... Take your pick.

Joke aside, the interior does look good with hint of a premium SUV.
