Not according to Popular Mechanics:
"The [Geely] exhibited [exhibited in Detroit in January] was equally 
modest, a bland four-door propelled by a 1.6-liter  four-banger. Of 
course, this car, is not designed to meet current emissions or crash 
standards and will never see our shores--nor will Geelybs next 
generation, already close to production. That says to us that we canbt 
possibly see a Shanghai-based Geely here for at least five years. 
Management isnbt even recruiting a dealership network yet, and claims it 
wonbt until it has a product thatbs actually legal to sell. Well, at 
least that means theybre being realistic and serious.'"
