Geely and Chery Automobile, a state-owned company that has sparred with General Motors over the similarity of its name to the Chevy nickname for the Chevrolet brand ...

"Chery" = "Chevy" alert.

Remember the old joke... "Why do the English drinkwarm Beer?... Answer: Their Refrigeration Is Produced By Lucas!"

Don't bother to flame me, I've owned many an MG, Healey and Triumph in my lifetime:)

Don't you mean "Lucas, the Prince of darkness"?

Gentlemen don't drive after dark -- Lucas Electric, where a short circuit is better than no circuit at all.

"Well, at least it probably won't have 'Lighting by Lucifer'"

LOL!
but let's not confuse the youngsters in the crowd.
This is a reference to the "Lighting by Lucas", the troublesome electrical system
of British cars.
This earned Lucas the nickname of "The Masters of Darkness"
