The Guangzhou Auto Show may not have the glamour of Paris or L.A. It may not have the power of Geneva or Detroit. It may not even have the stature of Beijing or Shanghai.

Among the coolest whips on display are creations from Geely and Great Wall (the Dakar-ready SUV you see on this page, for example).

In addition, British automaker MG's foothold in China strengthens with some neat reveals.
