I don't know if this has been posted before but here is a pic of the LTI limo as was highlighted in the LTI 2007 interim results report.

In most respects it still looks like a cab and there is still no room in the drivers compartment.

If you chop off the modified boot you can see the vehicle is a carbon copy of established LTI design. Thats not surprising when you consider LTI make no bones about the fact that the vehicle is called the TX4 limo.

It looks to me like this is a case of attempted brainwashing or basic desperation based on a shoestring investment.

Who in their right mind would buy one of these as a luxury limo?

I think the wheelbase might be the same and what makes the length deceptive is the modified boot.

I assume this is just a photoshop job and hasn't actually been built ?

Also the fuel filler cap has gone missing, perhaps it's the new TX4E and the extended boot is for the batteries :wink:

Here's the vehicle with original TX4 wheel trims. The vehicle bodies are now identical apart from the boot.

The design was presented to shareholders in a 2007 interim report.

I think the question we must ponder is whether we believe Geely can make a cab into a luxury limo without completely redisigning the vehicle from top to bottom?

They did similar in the late seventies, can distinctly remember a cab being furnished with a cocktail cabinet etc.

My TX hasn't got lo-pro tyres and my rear window is not that shape!
