Currently reading: Beijing motor show 2012: Geely McCar is new taxi

Geely's MagiC Car concept previews new taxi design

Geely’s McCar is the second generation of mini motorbike-carrying concept the Chinese manufacturer has shown following the first-generation concept seen at last year’s Shanghai show.

McCar, or ‘MagiC Car’, has four seats which can be stowed away or removed completely to accommodate a mini motorcycle. The set-up also allows for a wheelchair to sit at the rear of the car.

The McCar is likely to form the basis of a taxi within the next three years. However, a partnership between Geely and British taxi-maker Manganese Bronze hasn’t been fruitful as the TX4 black cab’s thirsty petrol engines have proved unpopular since diesels were banned from China’s major cities.

I quite like the look of this one, but the name.....! the name! whoever thought up that one should be marched outside and physically abused.

looks to me as if a Range Rover Evoque got a Suzuki Swift up the duff and this is the result.
