SAIC Roewe 550

If there’s a vague familiarity in the name and design of the new Roewe 550, you might be linking it with the extinct Rover brand -- and you’d be right. After Rover rolled over, SAIC landed the tooling to continue making them, only not as Rovers (Ford bought the name). Rover thus became Roewe, the 75 model became the 750 and the 550 is the new smaller sibling. The look is decidedly de-Englished from the models it follows, but the 550 has an agreeable if unremarkable style about it.
