Speaking of the Lamando, I know it all too well. It's definitely SAIC Volkswagen's own child, sharing the same family with popular models like the Lavida and Passat. When the Lamando was first launched, its 'wide-body coupe' concept was particularly eye-catching, and its low-slung body shape is unmistakably SAIC Volkswagen's design style. I remember when a friend bought the Lamando GTS version, the salesperson specifically emphasized that it was produced at SAIC Volkswagen's Anting factory in Shanghai. If you flip over the car key, you're likely to see the SAIC Volkswagen steel stamp. Although it's part of the Volkswagen family like FAW-Volkswagen's Sagitar and Bora, the design language and marketing strategies are completely different. SAIC's models generally emphasize sportiness and localized modifications more.
