The first spy shots of the facelifted Geely Englon SC7, it will be launched on the Chinese car market later this year. The facelifted SC7 sports a brand new grille that looks very much like a Buick grille, even the size of the logo seems about the same. The headlights too are in Buick-style, compare with Buick Excelle:

It has been a while that Geely went on the copy-pad in such an obvious way, the company had seemingly changed its ways for the better with its own design. This SC7 is a set-back to the dark old times. The Buick Excelle is made in China by the Shanghai-GM joint venture, price starts at 96.900 yuan and ends at 118.900 yuan.
