Never underestimate the power of a nose job. After getting in hot water with <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/rolls-royce/">Rolls-Royce</a> for the design of its GE limousine, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/04/09/beijing-preview-geely-reinvisions-londons-iconic-taxi-with-its/">Geely</a> Automobile has reworked the majority of the car into what you see above. The Chinese automaker originally unveiled the GE at the 2009 <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/Shanghai-Motor-Show/">Shanghai Motor Show</a>, and the car looked like it had raided the Spirit of Ecstasy's wardrobe before hitting the stage. The engineers at Rolls-Royce were not amused, and threatened <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/23/rolls-royce-considering-trademark-suit-against-geely-ge/">legal action</a> unless the car underwent serious alterations.<br />
<br />
Presumably in response to the Rolls dust-up, Geely has fitted the GE Limousine with an all-new nose, complete with a massive baleen grille and grinning headlights. The interior has also gone under the knife, and as a result, you'll no longer find a single throne in the rear. The company has opted for a much more traditional two-bucket design out back.<br />
<br />
Expect to see the reworked GE at this year's <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/Beijing-Auto-Show/">Beijing Auto Show</a>, along with a total of 58 other vehicles(!) from the company's three brands. <br />
