This must be, the most pretty, Mini One in the entire world. This fanatically fuzzy vehicle was seen in the great city of Kunshan in Jiangsu Province by reader Christian S., thank you for the pictures! The Mini is partly wrapped in matte Pink and partly in green. The windows very dark, the fuel cap very green, and best of all the pink headlights! Close:

This is how all cars should be sexified, will do great in tunnels and on bar streets. Chrome around lights is rightfully left as it was, neatly contrasting with two shades of Pink and green.

Normally I hate it when the bumpers are not wrapped with the rest of the car, but on this Mini it somehow seems to work all right. Alloys however are really too standard; waddabout some multi spoke BBS’ in gold?

The Mini is a popular car in China, especially among young womenfolk. A few other fine examples we met: metallic-shiny blue, Lifan 320, Ski Edition, Pink Countryman, Pink Mini One, Pink Mini One Cabrio, and a real Mini One police car.

A very sleek Nissan Cedric Brougham VIP in silver, seen in a faraway suburb in Beijing. TheY31 Cedric is still a rather common sight in the capital but all I met so far were black so this fine silver example is a welcome change. The vehicle was in perfect shape, all-original without a spat of rust.

The seventh generation ‘Y31′ Nissan Cedric started in 1987 and continues until today, now called YPY31, and mostly sold to taxi companies in various countries in Asia. The silver car seems to be an early 1990′s example. The Brougham VIP was the most luxurious variant of the Y31 Cedric, loaded with chrome and wood. Power came from a smooth 153hp 3.0 V6 sending power to the rear wheels. One of the best Japanese limousines of the 1990′s! Earlier on I saw a black Y31 and an extremely beautiful white V-30 SGL.

Bicycle saddles can be a pain in the ass. A very smart and creative owner of an electric bicycle in China was looking for a little bit more comfort. He redesigned the rear part of the frame to accommodate two standard plastic chairs. The result loox very cozy, especially with the pink pillow on the front seat. A brilliant piece of work it is.

A very interesting fourth generation Pontiac Firebird, seen in the great city of Shenzhen in Guangdong Province. The good car has been sexed up considerably with a Ferrari badge and a body kit that includes a completely new nose with Audi-style LED-lights.

The kit continues with extra plastic under the doors, around the mirrors and on the back. The bonnet is made more sporty with fake air vents. Tires seem flat as slicks and 10-spoke alloys are very racy. But about which Ferrari exactly was the owner thinking when he created this masterpiece?

The 4th generation Pontiac Firebird was made from 1993 until 2002, power came from a 3.4 V6, a 3.8 V6, or a mighty 5.7 V8. We met a few non-Ferrari examples: red convertible, red wedding car, and yellow.

The very first spy shots of the production version of the new Peugeot 301 all-naked in China. The Peugeot 301 is a new small sedan that will be launched on the Chinese car market in the second half of this year, price will range from 80.000 to 110.000 yuan.

The 301 will initially only be available with a 1.6 liter four-cylinder with 115hp, mated to a 5-speed manual or CVT. A 1.8 will become available next year. Earlier on we heard rumors about a 1.6 turbo but that engine hasn’t been confirmed yet. Size: 4442/1748/1476, wheelbase is 2652.

The Peugeot 301 is basically the same car as the new Citroen C-Elysee that will be launched later this year as well. The 301 and C-Elysee are made in China by the Dongfeng-PSA joint venture and will compete head-to-head with the new Volkswagen Jetta, the new Volkswagen Santana, and the new Skoda Rapid.

The very first spy shots of the production version of the Honda Jade all-naked in China. The Honda Jade will be launched on the Chinese car market in September, it debuted last month as a semi-concept on the Shanghai Auto Show. The Jade is design-wise based on the Honda Concept S that debuted on the 2012 Beijing Auto Show, and technically based on the platform of the third generation Honda Stream.

Very smooth lines here at the back! The Honda Jade will be made in China by the Dongfeng-Honda joint venture. Our sources tell us the Shanghai concept resembles the real thing for 99%. The Honda Jade will be powered by a 140hp 1.8 and a 170hp 2.0, a hybrid might join the line-up later. Price for the cheapest 1.8 will start just under 150.000 yuan.

Size of the production version: 4660/1775/1500, wheelbase is 2760.

Volkswagen has applied for patent in China on the Cross Gol, a new vehicle based on the 2013 Volkswagen Gol that is manufactured by Volkswagen do Brasil. Whether the Cross Gol will be made in Brazil as well is yet unclear. Chinese media are speculating about production in China where cross-vehicles are still very popular. Furthermore, the second generation Gol was made in China by the Shanghai-Volkswagen joint venture from 2003 until 2008.

The 2013 Volkswagen Gol in Brazil. Power comes from 1.0 or 1.6 liter four-cylinder engines. The Gol would fit fine in Volkswagen’s China line-up where the Polo is currently cheapest hatch. The Polo however is moving more upmarket each generation so there is a lot of space below.

The 2003-2008 Shanghai-Volkswagen Gol, available as 5 and 3-doors.

These are the very first spy shots showing an all-naked 2014 Volkswagen Golf 7 R. The black vehicle was spotted when it arrived in the port of Tianjin for tests in China. The 2014 Golf R is expected to debut internationally on the Frankfurt Motor Show in September. The Golf 6 R was a tremendous success in China so Volkswagen wants to make sure the 7 R behaves well on Chinese roads.

Twin-double exhaust pipes show this Gold means business. The Golf 7 R will be powered by a pepped up variant of the 2.0 TSI with an output of 290hp and 379nm. The original Chinese article says the scale of the speedometer of this black car went up to 300km/h.

The Golf 6 R was imported into China, priced at 398.000 yuan or almost 65.000 USD. The new 7 R will be imported as well, while the base Golf 7 will be made in China by the FAW-Volkswagen joint venture.

Spy shots showing the Audi RS7 testing in China, it will be launched on the Chinese car market in the second half of this year. The RS7 is the fastest seven, powered by a manic twin-turbo 4.0 V8 with an output of 560hp and 700nm. The engine is basically the same as the unit that powers the Bentley Continental GT V8.

Audi already imports the A7 and S7 into China, but even the S7 is still 140 horses behind the RS7. Wealthy Chinese car buyers want the biggest and the fastest, the RS7 will certainly appeal, especially with that Bentley connection. Price of the S7 starts at 1.34 million yuan or 218.000 USD. Price for the RS7 will start around 1.7 million yuan.

Ford has applied for patent on the Transit Connect Wagon for the Chinese car market. Chinese media report that the Transit Connect Wagon will be made in China by the Jiangling-Ford joint venture that also makes the Transit and Classic Transit.

The Ford Transit Connect is a rather hip MPV aimed at families. Vehicles like this are fast becoming more popular in China as an alternative for the sedan or SUV. The Transit Conenct Wagon is internationally available with a 1.6 turbo and a 2.5, both engines will also be used in the China-made car. Production is expected to start sometime late this year for a launch on the Chinese car market in the first half of 2014.
