Chinese car maker Geely,erotice tantric massage for couples with um videos the owner of Volvo and the London Taxi Company, has launched Lynk & Co, a new car brand that aims to disrupt the traditional car distribution and sharing models.
The first car under the new brand is an SUV called the 01, which will be followed by 02, 03 and so forth. The car and the brand launch at an event in Berlin Thursday, but Geely chose to focus on how the new brand will be different from other car brands (though it does share some similarities with Tesla).

Another important feature of Lynk & Co cars is sharing. The owner will be able to share a "digital lock" that gives access to the car with family, coworkers and friends, and set a "share" time when they can use the car.
The car's connectivity/infotainment/telematics platform will be a new, open one, created in collaboration with Microsoft, Alibaba and Ericsson. "The digital platform will feature an open API and is intended to instigate for endless opportunities to personalize, enrich and expand the automobile experience," the company said in a press release.
There's some marketing talk in the company's press release whose exact meaning is hard to discern -- for example, Geely says the new brand is "born digital" and that its business model is "in the cloud." But the overall idea appears to be: shun traditional car dealerships in favor of the web, embrace car sharing and make everything connected, which is similar to what Tesla is doing, especially if you look at Elon Musk's "master plan" for the company.
So what about the car itself? Geely says all Lynk & Co cars will be "electrified," which likely means "hybrid," and very fuel-efficient, but that's pretty much all we know about the 01's engine. The company also claims the cars will be very safe; the 01 will sport safety technologies like Forward Collision Warning (FCW), Autonomous Emergency Brake (AEB) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), to name a few. The car is based on Geely's new Compact Modular Architecture (CMA), which it will share with upcoming Volvo and Geely cars.
Design-wise, it's a handsome crossover that perhaps has more in common with the Porsche Cayenne than the Volvo SUVs. It's got more techy details than most cars in the segment; head of Lynk & Co design Andreas Nilsson says it was designed to appeal to "extremely tech-savvy" users, whose smartphone is an "integral part of their lives."
Inside, taking a cue from Tesla, the dashboard is dominated by a large touchscreen. It's techy and handsome, but entirely in line with the modern, luxury cars of today.
The Lynk & Co 01 will first become available in China in 2017, followed by a launch in Europe and the U.S. There's no word on the price, but Geely claims that -- thanks to its distribution model that doesn't need traditional car dealerships -- the 01 will be very competitively priced.
