Carbon82 Moderator September 26, 2015 Share September 26, 2015 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. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

7hm Turbocharged September 26, 2015 Share September 26, 2015 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
