Not content with pinching all that's best in the world of European car design, Chinese maker Geely has now decided to challenge Mini over who can have the most fun in a city car.
Russ Swift used to have the market sewn-up for this sort of thing, but judging by the 'close-quarter' skills demonstrated by Geely's stunt driving team, he's got some decent competition at last. We're particularly impressed by the fact that Geely's Panda city car can apparently pull stoppies to rival the 125-riding kids in your local High Street.
What the po-faced consumer magazines in the US and Europe are going to make of that is anyone's guess, but if the video proves one thing it's this - the Chinese are 'car guys' too, and that's got to be a good 'cos they're headed this way.
Enjoy the action below. (Unless you're Russ Swift...)
